From Robert :

After graduation from St. Paul Central in 1962, I went on to the University of Minnesota and graduated in 1966. I was awarded Phi Beta Kappa. In the fall of 1966, I entered law school at the University of Minnesota. I was the editor of the Law Review and graduated Order of Coif in 1969.

I started practicing law with Oppenheimer, Hodgson, Brown, Wolff and Leach in St. Paul in 1969 and I remained there until February of 1979 when I, and five other lawyers at the firm, founded Winthrop & Weinstine. We now office in Minneapolis and have more than 100 attorneys. Over the years, I have specialized in commercial litigation, largely concentrating in jury work. I am still engaged fulltime.

I married Judy Tilsner (class of 1963) in June of 1966. We were divorced and I am now married to Barbara.

My oldest son, Danny, was born shortly before I graduated law school in April of 1969. Regrettably, Danny passed away in June of 2009. Danny left a wonderful grandson named Eddie. I actively participate in the raising of this young man who is 16 years of age. My son, Tony, was born in March of 1971. Tony is quite successful in commercial real estate and has a five year old son named Liam. My daughter, Elizabeth “Buffy”, was born in 1975 and she has an eleven year old son named Benji.

Our family is extraordinarily close and get together for lunch or dinner at least once a week and all holidays.

I continue to work out every single day. I no longer can run every day, but I am still at it about three days a week. The remaining four days I do the elliptical and lift weights. I remain a veracious reader and attempt to complete at least two novels a week. I also draw political cartoons.

Barbara and I have a beautiful home in the red mountains in southern Utah. I wish we could get out there more often, where we love to hike, play golf, ride bikes, etc., but I am going to have slow down and ease out of my practice before we can spend more time there.

I am looking so very forward to seeing all of my classmates.

From Jon:Paul Crane said to me recently about his own kids, "in history classes they are studying our lives" -- and that's the kind of classes I've been teaching for the last several decades, as a history professor at UC Irvine: "America in the 1950s" and "Cold War Culture." So my job has been to think about, read about, and try to explain the world in which we grew up. I've also just finished a book about how the Cold War is being remembered--and forgotten.
