Retired

I was in mixed mostly large animal vet practice on and off but spent most working time in international vet medicine. I had contracts with University of Colorado in Kenya teaching vet students, consulting firms in Indonesia and Somalia on long-term livestock development projects and 16 years with the UN Food and Agriculture Organization in Rome in the Animal Heath Service. Semi-retired in 2006 and now continue short-term consulting mostly in Central Asia and Middle Eastern countries on animal or human-animal disease control strategies, reorganizing vet services in former Soviet countries and rebuilding vet services delivery following conflicts in Afghanistan, Tajikistan and elsewhere. Now residing between Almaty, Kazakhstan, and Reno, Nevada.

In Reno area am picking up contacts with Chris and Faye Gansberg and Tim Ferrell. The Gansberg's raise cattle and horses in Gardnerville, Bridgeport and Plymouth areas. Tim recently retired and has moved from his longtime home in Napa to Mt. Vernon, WA. He visits frequently on his travels south.

Not too noteworthy. Spent only about 1 year in the house then lived and worked at the UCD main campus fire department while going to vet school. Have good memories of the pledge class and most active members in the house in the early 60's.
