2022 update - hello fellow members of class of 1974, greetings from beautiful Colorado. I hope life continues to treat all of you well. Oh boy has my life changed since the last update ... Got divorced and remarried ... and along the way added 3 more kids to my 2 boys (my wife had 2 already ... and gulp ... we decided to have one together). At one point in our house we had 2 learning to drive and one learning to walk ... lol! I wish I could be there next week for the reunion, but I won't be able to make it. Please know all of you are missed, and thought of fondly frequently. Be well, Merv

PS: My apologies to everyone I had connected with on FaceBook ... but it got on my nerves so I no longer use it. If you'd like to get in touch (Cell 856.220,8832 mervlennon@comcast.net).


The fall after graduation, I moved up to Boston to attend a small engineering school (Wentworth). I was injured (hey Mr Petersen - I'm still mad that it made me miss your wedding) during my 3rd year there and didn't finish.

I stayed in Boston and started working for a company that eventually transferred me back to CT and then to NJ where I lived for 29 years. While living and working in the South Jersey/Philadelphia area, I went to Rutgers University - School of Business and earned my degree in Finance, which is what I do for a living (capital equipment leasing and financing for healthcare entities). My job comes with a fair amount of work travel, so I've been to all but 8 states. Of course that means lots of frequent flyer miles which allows for a good amount of recreational travel as well (England a few times, Denmark, several Caribbean Islands, around the US).

My current position required that I relocate to the corp HQ so we packed up and moved to the Boulder, Colorado area. SO, here I am, a Jamaican ...no Cola Nut jokes Mr. Papa :-) ...living in ski country - and I've even been skiing in Breckenridge a few times (strictly greens and the easiest blues).

Got a bit of a late start starting a family (first kid at 45), I have 2 wonderful boys (Nikolas and Cameron).

Favorite high school memory: From our game against the Avon Old Farms hockey team - Dave Pandora rushing up ice and scoring the winning goal in overtime - of course he wouldn't have had to do that if I hadn't given up the tying goal with less than 2 minutes to play in regulation :-)
