Grateful for a wonderful career

“When I began my University experience in 1961 (at the upper age of 26), the foundation of my chosen career also began. As I progressed, the University environment nurtured my development and helped to bring about the profession that I aspired to. Finally, in 1967, I became a Bachelor of Architecture, my diploma signed by my favorite Dean Bruno Leon, our great mentor.

As my profession unfolded, I felt the faculty inspiration and influence that I acquired during the years in the School of Architecture and the University itself. I am extremely satisfied with the impact that the U of D had on my life. For almost 50 years I have thoroughly enjoyed my profession that grew out of my education. I hope that the University of Detroit Mercy continues to do well as it has done for this grateful alumnus,

Our class of 1967 remained in close communication over the past 49 years. One of the highlights of our class was the 40th reunion that occured on May 19, 2007 in the Warren Loranger Architecture Building. The photo shows the classmates who attended.”
