Out here in Boston

Hello to everyone-it is really great to see so many names from the past, and hear what everybody has been doing. Thanks to everybody who has organized the reunion and gotten this blog going! I'm sorry I won't be able to make it back to Minnesota for the reunion-I'll have to block out my vacation time better in the future. Really hard to believe 20 years have gone by already-seems like not too long ago that I was busy playing locker ball, hackysack, and generally getting into trouble...

So, I'm out here in Boston where I came after SPA and never really left. I went to Brandeis and then medical school at BU. After four years of that I decided to give something else to try, and was actually studying music for a while before going back to finish medical training. The best part about the training was meeting my future wife Emily. After we finished, we moved into Boston where she did a fellowship in kidney disease. I practiced medicine for awhile, but have gradually migrated away from that, and am now doing work in clinical trials and writing for EBSCO publishing which has a medical division here in Boston. Emily and I were married in 2006, and the best thing of all has been the birth of our daughter Anna who just turned one year old this month. it does make me realize I'm approaching 40 when it is painful to crawl around on the floor chasing her...

anyways, the reunion sound like a great time-sorry again I'm going to miss it, I will hopefully plan to see everybody at future reunions if not sooner

Ah yes! That troublesome LockerBall game. You knew we were a rough crowd when trouble came in the form of a crumpled piece of paper.

Thanks for posting Matt! Hope to see you again soon. I never did say thanks for hoofing it around Boston with the family so.. THANK YOU! When we get photos sorted out we will email you again.
