Most interesting thing that's happened to you since graduation

Two things: I got married again, in 2002, and I'm the East Coast correspondent and photographer for Daytrippin', a magazine dedicated to the Beatles.

Life Since Graduation

After graduation, I remarried in Hawaii in 2002. We've done a lot of traveling: Montreal, Toronto, Niagara Falls, Washington, D.C., Florida (especially Disney World), Michigan, San Francisco, Los Angeles, and all over New England. Through my magazine work, I've photographed, met, and interviewed a number of celebrities. Recently, I represented my magazine at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremonies. And we just bought a new house! We have a beautiful vegetable garden, and we're about to adopt a dog.

Other comments

I think that SCSU's journalism staff is fabulous! I learned so much from each and every faculty member. Hey Frank, you're the new department chair? Congratulations! My best to everyone.
