Work life? (e.g., education, first job, occupation): Went to the UW Madison and graduated with a BA in Spanish. What do you do with a degree in Spanish and no marketable skills? Move to Texas! Spent 40+ years there mostly working for the state in social services - the last thing I ever thought I would do. Loved my work in Adult Protective Services and Domestic Violence but after retiring was able to move on to my true passion, animal rescue. Got in on the ground floor with a group that was committed to making Austin a No Kill city which we accomplished in 3 years. Will always be grateful for this opportunity and the amazing people I met along the way. That group, Austin Pets Alive! recently rescued their 100,000th animal!
Family life? (e.g., spouse, kids/grandkids, friends, places lived): Divorced, no kids but sharing my life with a 3 legged Miniature Pinscher. He's a rescue of course and my first little dog - quite the learning curve for both of us.
Doing today? (e.g., where do you live, working or retired, hobbies, travels): After 10 years of volunteering and then employment in animal rescue I retired again and moved back to Wisconsin. I had purchased a condo in Algoma on the shores of Lake Michigan and after moving back I also purchased a condo in Madison (Fitchburg). I spend most of my time "up north" as it's just so beautiful. I love to cook, read and gaze at the lake which has worked out well during a pandemic.
Bucket list? (e.g., plans for the future, travel): My homecoming plans to explore the state and visit relatives and friends were sadly curtailed by the pandemic and a dog that developed separation anxiety as a result of the move. Hoping we can get through this and I can make that a reality.

Work life? (e.g., education, first job, occupation): First year of college was at UW-Madison. Transferred to UW-Stout where I received my BS in Clothing, Textiles, & Design with a Business Minor and Vocational Technical Adult Education Certificate. MS in Computer Science Education. Started career managing the State Street Copper Rivet (a division of the Rupert Cornelius Co.). A new store was opened in Waukesha, WI and I transferred to manage that location. While in Waukesha I taught at the Milwaukee Patricia Stevens Career College. Spent 3 years at Gimbels - Midwest as an Assistant Buyer for Daywear and Sleepwear. For the last 32 years of my career I taught Retail Management, Fashion Merchandising, Marketing, and Computer Software at all four campuses of Milwaukee Area Technical College. I retired in December 2013!
Family life? (e.g., spouse, kids/grandkids, friends, places lived): Met my husband, Dan, at a UW-Stout dance. The Stout yearbook (yes they still had college yearbooks then) even has a picture of us dancing together! We married at Queen of Peace Church in Madison Labor Day weekend 1978. Dan was an Iowa Mutual Insurance Marketing Mgr. for the Chicago area. He retired in June 2017. Our daughter, Christine, was born in 1984. She has followed in my footsteps and teaches K5 at Parkway Elementary in the Milwaukee suburb of Glendale. My husband and Christine both attended Parkway! Our son, Paul, was born in 1987. He is a Sherwin Williams Sales Rep for 5 territories in the Denver area. He enjoys downhill skiing and all the outdoor activities CO has to offer. Christine and her husband, Benjamin, blessed us with our first grandchild, Charlotte, last April during the pandemic. She is an adorable, spunky 15 month old. I am still in touch with Deb Annen and Suzy (Edwards) Yager.
Doing today? (e.g., where do you live, working or retired, hobbies, travels): We moved from our Glendale home in 1991 and built our current house in Mequon, WI. Over the years we've done some traveling - nothing exotic. Now it's mostly Door County and Colorado to visit our son and do some hiking. After retiring I spent the first year doing all the house things I never had time for - painting, minor redecorating, minor landscaping, etc. Then I got bored. I volunteered at the Milwaukee Public Museum for several months doing digital photography of their bee collection. I was fortunate to find a flexible, fun, & totally unexpected volunteer opportunity that I love at the Schlitz Audubon Nature Center in Bayside, WI. I am a Raptor Volunteer! I clean mews, mats, perches, and the raptor building interior. I feed raptors as well as handle and interpret birds for educational programs held on site, at WI State Fair (visit me at the WE Energies Park area of the Fair), area schools, and other area organizations. I sew instructional props and visual aids for use in educational programs. I enjoy sewing, knitting, crocheting, and crafting. Each year the Raptor Program sponsors a silent auction so I try to make a few items to donate to the auction. Try to keep active with walking and gardening. And we do some hiking each year when we visit Colorado. Enjoy supporting our home teams and attend Admirals, Bucks, Brewers, and of course Packer games. Since I am retired I also get to babysit 3 days a week for granddaughter Charlotte. It's so much fun being a grandma!
Bucket list? (e.g., plans for the future, travel): No official buck list. Want to stay healthy and keep doing what we are doing - enjoying family, friends, and life.

Work life? (e.g., education, first job, occupation): I went to Midvale, Van Hise, West for 10th and 11th, and Malcom Shabazz for senior year.



Jim Dott and I were the editors of the special Earth Week edition of the West High Times in 10th grade. Matt Friedlander had heard about Prof. Phil Lewis in the UW Landscape Architecture Department, and his E-Way concept, so Matt and I went to the department to interview Dr. Lewis for the paper. Walking into that department blew my mind. It looked nothing like any of the other departments at UW. There were colorful drawings, plans, and physical models all over the place. There was a cool loft space. The place was humming with energy. Hmm, what is landscape architecture I wondered?



It took me until my junior year at UW to declare my major. I was ready a year earlier but when I told my mom I had to transfer into the Ag School, she replied “and when are you going to get your education?”. That was enough to delay my plans for a year as I second-guessed my choice based on my mom’s negative reaction. The major was popular and there were few spaces available. Starting as a junior, I would have been an undergrad for 7 years working my way through the program. I signed up anyway.



Once in the program, my advisor recommended I go ahead and graduate on time with a Natural Resource Analysis and Management major from the LA Dept., and then go to grad school, thereby taking those 7 years to get two degrees instead of one. I took a year off after the UW, working temporary jobs for the Bureau of Land Management in the New Mexican desert and the Colorado mountains. I also established residency in Oregon during that year, so I could attend grad school at U of O for in-state rates. I had some West High friends there (Ellen Antonie and Gary Hansbrough, Jim “Buck” Buchanan, Mike Kirk, Mark Blumenfeld). Jim Dott was there in grad school also and we were roommates for a couple years. Those 3 years were a blast.



I graduated again in 1981, during a major recession, one that hit construction and Oregon’s timber economy especially hard. There were mill towns in Oregon with 50% unemployment. I was working part time in a local Landscape Architecture firm during school, but when June came around, my boss said “Bill, I can no longer employ you. Time to look elsewhere to start your career.”



Thanks to having some practical experience during school, I received several job offers in San Francisco, which at that time was the Mecca of our profession. My initial intention was to work in the big city for three years to get my “big league” experience and then move somewhere smaller, more natural, and less hectic. That plan did not work.



I worked for three different firms in the Bay Area for my first 20 years in practice, then started Harris Design in 2001. My work has been varied, with a major emphasis on public work (parks, trails, streetscapes, public schools, transportation). I am not a garden designer. My clients have typically been cities, counties, and special districts through the public works and parks departments. Somehow, I was able to keep the practice going for the past 21 years in this highly competitive metro area. The Great Recession was quite an experience, but the firm stayed intact. Always small, we had 6 people at our height, and now it’s just me putting these final projects to bed, working off and on a few hours at a time, but mostly not working.
Family life? (e.g., spouse, kids/grandkids, friends, places lived): Married with no children. I have two grand-nephews who live in Australia (one just born on Aug. 8th), and one grand-nephew in Portland Oregon.



Rosemary Malone and I live in the west-facing Oakland Hills, 1400 feet above the Bay. We do not have one of those panoramic views (adds a couple hundred thou to the house price), but when I am stationed at my Weber Grill, I can see through the openings in the forest out to the Bay Bridge and beyond to the Golden Gate Bridge, Marin Headlands, and the open ocean. I like the perspective. We are a block away from thousands of acres of East Bay Regional Parks District land with miles of trails winding through redwood trees and babbling brooks with hawks circling and owls hooting.
Doing today? (e.g., where do you live, working or retired, hobbies, travels): Retirement: Third Act in Life. I have been winding down my practice the past two years and there is very little winding left to do. I left my design studio space at the end of July. I’m back in the house and it is a new world. I am still attending to a couple of pesky projects that won’t die, but my attention is only needed for brief periods from time to time.
Bucket list? (e.g., plans for the future, travel): “It’s Third Act in Life and I Want World Peace.” Chelsea Ryoko Wong, San Francisco artist (title of one of her paintings).

Work life? (e.g., education, first job, occupation): BS in 1977 (151 credits and some serious indecision) from UW in now what is now called a sports science major. Lived in Cincinnati and Columbus after graduation working for Proctor & Gamble. Returned to Madison in 1979 to work for Gordon Flesch Company, promotion moved us to Milwaukee in 1982. In 1988 I started and bootstrapped a new venture (office equipment) in Kansas City and expanded to Dallas in 1992. Sold in 2002 and started another one in 2003 and sold out in 2014 as part of a rollup. I truly planned on staying with them for the transition then retiring but here we are in 2022 and I am still there.
Family life? (e.g., spouse, kids/grandkids, friends, places lived): Met my wife Anne of soon to be 44 years during spring break at Daytona Beach in 1976, we both traveled a long way to make our connection as Anne is also a Regent (Anne Brewster '74, sister of Julie '72). We have two kids Katy (41) and Bobby (37).....six grandchildren, 5 boys and 1 girl ages thirteen to one
Doing today? (e.g., where do you live, working or retired, hobbies, travels): Anne and I live/farm on 60 acre farm in Louisburg, Kansas 30 miles south of Kansas City (although Anne calls it Oklahoma). No animals....yet, just a crop farm (soybeans this year) . I am still working (other than farming), Anne is officially retired and I guess I will be too as soon as that fleeting concept of what I want to be when I grow up materializes and see what's behind the door.
