Life After High School


I attended MIT and wound up with an ScD degree in Metallurgy, specializing in deformation and fracture. In 1960, I married Peg Young, who grew up in Iowa and was working at Harvard. Then, fifty years ago we, and our baby daughter Ann, spent a year in Liverpool, where I worked at the University. Arriving back in the US, I took a job at Battelle Memorial Institute here in Columbus. Our son, Joel, was born here in 1964. The family had another stretch in England, when I worked a Summer at the Open University. After retirement in 1994, I took up several activities, including genealogy and teaching people how to use the internet. Currently I am energy Specialist (Lobbyist) for the League of Women Voters of Ohio and Membership Chair of our suburban Library Friends group.

Peg is Election Specialist for the League of Women Voters. Ann lives in Toronto with our two teen-age grandchildren. She is head of the fund-raising arm of the Wood Green Foundation. Joel and Julie Olsen live in Park City Utah, where he telecommutes for the company that makes Magic Jack.
