Sam,
We will be featuring you in an up coming Hog Rock News edition in a new section called Lost and Found. Can you provide us any info on what you are doing, family, and a recent picture or two of you. This will make it helpful to bring others up to date on your whereabouts. I have attached a few pictures of you I have on file. Most from the legendary Charles Bolton collection.

If you have any old pictures from the past of yourself or others that you can scan and send to Zip or myself, it would be greatly appreciated. Hope to see you at the Grand Re-Opening on June 22nd, 2002.

Hi Macos.
A real honor being selected as a "found", when considered by most as a "lost" cause.

A Lost Cause
I have no old pictures, but new ones are as easy as a click of the digital camera. Below is a recent picture of my wife of 24 years and I wolfing down wonderful oysters in New Orleans.

This picture was taken when I was lecturing (about garbage) in Thailand in June 2001.

Garbage Expert
I spent almost 10 years at Drexel (1969-1982), with some time off in between to work at an engineering firm in Camden. I moved to Florida in 1982, when a large firm was looking for a landfill designer, and worked out of Orlando for this engineering company for 15 years. Four years ago, I formed S2L, Incorporated, a boutique engineering firm that specializes in the management of solid waste (yes, garbage), and in the design of landfills and transfer stations. Our firm has six employees, and is growing like a garbage pile after a Hog get-together. We still work from time to time with Professor Koerner at Drexel.
Solid Waste Entrepreneur
Recently, while attending a garbage conference in San Diego, I got to visit with a bunch of Hogs - Ken Brickman, Jack Barrett, Jim Cento, Rich Weise, and got to speak with Marv Moskowitz from a few hundred miles away.
Left Coast Hogs
Seems like the left coast enhanced their Hog roots, as we managed to get together on successive nights and party hearty. Cento lives on a golf course, and we managed to do severe damage to the grass and ourselves in a driving drizzle. Stud Brickman is as laid back as ever, Partez Weise has a bunch of chilens and an incredibly colorful business card, and Groovy Moskowitz a pair of future Hogs as well.
The trip to San Diego brought me in from the Hogless life I was leading, when Partez gave me the address to the Hog web page.
We have two kids, a son in his junior year at Indiana (minus Bobby Knight), and a daughter about to enter her senior year of high school. Our son is majoring in finance, and his attendance at an out of state school has done wonders for our family finances. Our daughter has been on her school golf team since it began accepting females, and she takes her dad's money on the course as regularly as if she went to an out of state school. She has decided to attend Georgia Tech after putting in her time as a senior.
Son and daughter are clearly Hogs in training.
Hobbies include drinking wonderful single malt scotch, swinging golf clubs badly, and working the jungle surrounding our Florida ranch house. We have the kind of vines hanging from our trees that made Tarzan famous. My wife Laxsamee is Thai, and we grow bunches of Thai herbs and veggies (particularly the hottest hot peppers). I will happily take requests from any Hogs addicted to Capsaicin. Pepper crops are available about 8 months out of the year.
Good to hear from you.
