I attended graduate school at UCLA 1971-73., receiving a Master’s Degree in Architecture and Urban Design. Having just left the Army the previous
year, I used the GI Bill to pay for it, and Shirley worked to support us.
In 1973, I also founded
Interactive Resources, celebrating our 52nd anniversary this year.
That was 52 years ago, and I haven’t been back to the campus since. Recently I was informed that I was selected for a 2025 Bruin Excellence in
Civic Engagement honor, which recognizes alumni who are improving the quality of life in their communities, engaging with civic issues and community organizations, inspiring change and expanding the Bruin network through both political and nonpolitical processes.
These alumni visionaries, volunteers and leaders engage with community organizations, find solutions to today’s civic issues and improve the quality
of life in our communities.

We will join other honorees at a reception at UCLA on October 15.
