This is a picture of me with my parents and sister at my wedding (my brother, the best man, is not pictured).

My parents met in high school (they lived in different towns, were introduced by my dad's younger sister who knew my mom through girl scouts) and dated throughout college and were married in 1962, a couple of days after my dad graduated. They have lived in Oahu Hawaii, Pittsburgh PA, Menlo Park CA, Concord MA and now live in Salt Lake City.

Mom: Born in Tower City PA in 1941, undergrad at Gettysburg, grad at U Hawaii, PhD in English Literature from Carnegie Mellon. Career in education (dean of students at a local college for many years), now retired.

Dad: Born Pine Grove PA in 1940, undergrad at the United States Military Academy (West Point) followed by time in SE Asia, PhD in Plasma Physics from Pitt. Career mostly in semiconductors, about to bow out as CEO of an energy company which we hope will mean retirement (he is 68 and works harder than just about anyone I know).

Overall, pretty cool parents... I'm the youngest of three and my parents were 39 and 40 by the time I was born, so they took it easy on me
