Linda and I married in 1964.  After our two children were grown and after 39 years of  marriage,  sadly after a long illness in 2003 Linda died ., 

           Gladys and I first met in 1953 in Jr. High School) and hung out together with several other High School (JamesMadison) friends until 1961 or so. We all spent a lot of time  together,  gathering often at Gladys’ house on E 13 Street just off the "Highway".  	By 1962 or so we had all gone our separate ways.  My career as a civil engineer combined engineering  practice with academics. I ultimately became professor and chairman of the department of construction and civil engineering technology at New York City College of Technology (of CUNY) right here in Brooklyn.  In 2008 I completed 40 years of service at the college, officially retiring in 2005 but serving as and adjunct professor until 2008.  	Gladys, living in Arizona learned that Linda had passed away.  She sent me a condolence card. I answered. Many Emails, calls and visits from Arizona to Staten Island and back followed.  In November 2004 Gladys and I were married. Sadly, my beloved Gladys died on April 24, 2020. 

 	Together we have 4 children and a total of 9 grandchildren. For several years we had a house on Staten Island, one in Scottsdale Arizona and one in Delray Beach Florida.  We have since sold the houses in Staten Island and Scottsdale and now are living  in Delray Beach.  

        We had a very active social life here in Huntington Pointe, our condo in Delray Beach. Besides performing in the yearly condo show we both served as office volunteers in the Palm Beach County Sheriff's Volunteer Program, the largest sheriff's volunteer program in the country. I also volunteer at the Holocaust Documentation and Education Center in Dania Beach where I am a docent, conducting museum tours and transcribing holocaust survivor's oral testimonies to text for future scholarly study and for access by museum visitors.
