We were deeply involved in the Scottish scene in southwestern Michigan. We were integral parts of all the local organizations and have/still have strong ties to these groups. In Rochester, we continue to share our love of all things Scottish....

After nearly 20 years of raising our family and actively participating in the communities of Portage and Kalamazoo, Michigan, corporate decisions at Pfizer forced us to look outside of the area for continued livelihood. We accepted a wonderful opportunity in Rochester, NY with Bausch & Lomb and are now living there. (To all my former colleagues: I feel very fortunate to have worked with so many terrific and talented people in Kalamazoo while employed by Upjohn, Pharmacia and Upjohn, Pharmacia and Pfizer. The quality of the analytical science done in Kalamazoo and the local management, especially during the Pharmacia years, was second to none. Please do stay in touch. Steve) |
