Current Address: www.forensic-pro.com.

Current Occupation: Forensic Chemist/Teacher

Family - Significant other: Not yet, still looking, as Miss Hanos has rejected me - again!

Accomplishments? A lot of traveling to exotic, far away places like: Morocco/N. Africa; Western Europe + the DDR; Scandinavia, including Finn mark - 70 degrees 33 min N.; UK, including N. Scotland & Wales; Greece and Corfu; Iceland; and northern Lapland, east of St. Petersburg - not Florida - 29 degrees 30 min. E. of Greenwich; long before the fall of the wall, from '73-'75, traveling 75,000 km. Did Alaska, the Yukon Territory, NWT, 27,000 km, in '67 - beyond totally awesome! In 2003, did a cheap, fantastic train trip with my brother Terry (C.W. '59) to Churchill, Manitoba, ~59 degrees N on Hudson Bay. All Ohioans should do this at least once unless they can't stand pristine places. Call me first, not just Rodney Kish (new world traveler). Bachelor's degree in Chemistry - in great contrast to Mr. Barker's beliefs.

Previous occupations: Cabinet maker for the Dayton Museum of Natural History, stock maker, newspaper boy for the Dayton Journal Herald.

What have you been doing for the past 42 years?

Accomplishments / achievements: Killing the W-470 beltway on the N.W. quadrant around Denver, this resulted in becoming a party to a law suit that went to the Colorado Supreme Court (unsuccessful as the Court reneged its purpose); plugging two Rocky Flats Nuclear Weapons Plant whistleblowers into the right attorneys costing Rockwell International Corp., $ Millions in another case that went to the Supreme Court, successfully. Surviving the Vietnam war. Saving clients from their toxic homes, schools and workplaces. Sierra Club lobbyist in '82 to defeat the `Dirty Air Act' from the auto industry to gut the Clear Air Act. I built the company and profession I wanted from scratch - without any help.

Regrets: Vietnam war - what a great time to have protested but didn't. Was this Dayton inspired apathy? So much waste, pain & violence perpetrated on us by the corporate, military, religious complexes' greed, lies, and collusion with elected officials for their power and wealth. Being victimized by organized religion in so many ways. Not realizing the importance of finding politicians' source of $$$ and voting records prior to voting, see: www.essential.org.

Do you think that your job / life is where you thought it would be when you were in high school? Yes, at least in part. Why / why not? See the above. No. It's very disappointing how our ignorant society all but totally ignores the Scientific community and its incredible contributions, discoveries, accomplishments, and developments. Worse, is how far immoral crooks can get on society's apathy.

If you could start over, would you / would you not, make the same choices you did the first time around? Why / why not? What would you do differently? I'd mostly do the same, but I would have moved out West 12 years sooner, and attended U. of Colorado, Boulder (Camelot). So much opportunity, fun, incredible scenery, sunshine & blue sky; clean air and the "wide open spaces".

Favorite Memories of Col. White - Teacher(s): Faul, Bloom, Wendell, Farnlacher, Kramer.

Classes /courses: Barker's chemistry - a snooze, Bloom's civics, Faul's physics, Farnlacker's study hall and more.
