I just completed my 35th year in business with no plans to retire. It has been a great career assisting our clients as a financial adviser. The benefits have allowed Lois and I to travel extensively and to participate in many organizations. We are especially interested in children's organizations and programs for the poor.
Golf is the primary sports activity for me as I no longer run or play basketball.
I have strong memories of my two years at Friends. I consider the time the most important in my educational development.
My Dad died last year. Friends Academy meant a lot to him.
My mom is healthy and living in Florida.
Hope all is well.

In December I received a short follow- up from Joe; He said that he had just returned from a trip to China, working on a consulting contract. He said it was exciting, but reading between the lines, I think that he was really thrilled by a lot more than just the business aspects of the trip. China has always fascinated me, and the time that I spent in the Far East years ago only piqued my curiosity.

Bob,
You are really good to do this.
My Dad died November 8th: He had been sick for the last couple of years. In the big picture he had a great life. He sure liked Friends Academy... Thought it was beneficial to all of us
Diane his sister is now working for EDS, the plane manufacturer in Europe.
My life stays busy with my work, local charities and golf.
Lois and I have several plans to travel this year, invite anyone to stop and see us when in Florida.
Say hi to Brandt. Tell him I hosted a Bucknell event here and met several people from school recently.
Hope all is well.
Chip

Thanks for doing this.
I spoke to Steve Beslity a few months ago; he sounded good and busy.
I am staying busy with my business and still have a significant interest in sports and charities.
Lois and I travel as much as we can. .
2002:
I spoke with Joe last October. He and his wife Lois have lived in Boca Raton Florida since they were married in 1982. I recall him saying that he is happy that winter happens someplace else.
He started out in the insurance business and gradually moved into investing. He now provides a range of financial services, mostly to businesses.
He is currently the president of his country club, an extra job that came his way somewhat by surprise.
Hopefully Joe will write in with a more complete report?
