Phi Delta Theta Fraternity

What’s been happening:

Spent 10 years in the 90s working at various gold and copper mines in the western US as metals prices crashed. Played a lot of Rugby during my travels and became a pretty good skier and a passable mountaineer. In 2001, I gave up the gold mining business when the gold price dropped below $270/oz and went back to school at Utah State University where I earned an MS in Civil Engineering in 2003. In 2003 I moved east and worked as a geotech consultant for a firm in the Philadelphia area until the travel became to much and I switched to Lafarge Cement in 2006. I was the quarry manager for the Whitehall, PA cement plant from 2006-2010. In 2010 I was transferred to the corporate technical group in Georgia and I am now the corporate mining engineer for the US. My Rugby career ended in 2005 when I turned 40 but I managed to keep my knees intact through it all! In 2005 I met my future wife Anita in Wilmington Delaware (married in 2007) and took up equestrian sports following the end of rugby. Now I am the proud owner of his-hers horses and trying to jump fences without falling prey to heat exhaustion in the terrible Georgia summers. I managed to take the wife up to Oxford to see the sites for the 25th reunion in 2012 and had a beer with a few of you guys. Found that I can still find my way around Oxford after all these years and the food was a bit better! Glad to see the old house in good shape and that the addition finally happened back in '99. I recall rush in 1984 where they said the addition would come in '86! Best wishes to you all.
