Recap: Yale '69; Marine platoon commander Vietnam; White House military aide (Nixon); U.S. Bicentennial Committee; entertainment journalist; road manager Don McLean; VP Music Video Capitol Record; Chief Creative Officer Spotlight Health; independent author, editor, video director, producer, screenwriter, and creative content consultant for entertainment, healthcare, and new technologies.

Update: After four decades in Los Angeles, Susan and I sold our Valley Village bungalow and relocated to a wooded hilltop in Asheville, North Carolina. We're now ensconced in a retrofitted early 20th Century resort lodge with sprawling views of the Blue Ridge and Great Smoky Mountains.

Not loving state politics and the old school cannabis situation here, but Asheville's world class beer scene provides ample pleasures, and I enjoy haunting the taprooms of the 32 (who's counting?) craft breweries nearby. Working casually on community projects with the local Yale Alumni Club and otherwise diving deep into life in the slow lane.

Our daughter, Kaelan, lives in Manhattan's East Village and is associate director of the Pace/ MacGill Gallery in Chelsea. We do our best to hit The Big Apple as often as possible and stay upright.

Music, television, movies, books, art, cuisine, alcohol, and herbal delights help keep the dreamy days and nights effervescent.

Warm wishes to all Generals born and bred,

MBK
