After St. Thomas, I went to St. Leonard’s until it closed, and then Most Holy Trinity. I joined the Army in 1968. I was a boat operator, got out in 1971. Worked as a Taxi inspector for six months and did two years with the National Park Service as a boat captain. Went to the Staten Island Ferry in 1973, made captain after five years, retired in September of 2002. The city had a "buy out" after 9-11 and they gave me 37 years of credits. I currently do expert work for law firms in the New York and Philadelphia area. I'm married with two boys and one girl, live in Upper Mount Bethel, about one and a half hours from the city. I'm the vice president of the North Bangor Fire Co. and the township fire-police. I spent a few summer weeks here when I was a kid. Guess I like the place.
