Born in NYC and attended St Bernard's School, the Salisbury School in Ct.. Booted out for "bad attitude" in the summer before my senior year so attended another all boys school, The Browning School, in NYC.
That's when the hell began...
I became girl crazy! There are just so many in NYC!!!
Packed off to Syracuse University for a "BS" degree in Foreign Policy. Graduated a lost soul and headed to the Amazon jungle for the Smithsonian Institute to catch butterflies & birds, then Alaska for polar bears, then Baja for fishing & surfing...
Finally had enough fun and had to go WORK...God damn it!...
First job...Private messenger to President Jimmy Carter in 1979. I could go anywhere in the White House at anytime except the Lincoln bedroom.
Then worked for my family's steel company in swingin' Millerburg, Pa.
When Pop died I opened the Surf Club & Zulu Lounge in NYC.
Big time baby!!!
Guys in ties and girls in pearls.
Free girls, money and booze...Cannot beat that!!
Champagne? Si monsieur another bottle of DP for everyone!!
Opened 4 others...until I had to say "Uncle!"
I was headed for an early grave...
Bought the plantation, Como, on the Mississippi River in St. Francisville, La. so I could behave myself. It had a 5 mile driveway and no telephone service.
Summered in Watch Hill, Rhode Island in our 20 room cottage which my 2 brothers and I inherited. What a party scene. Sold it 1998 after making it into a Designer Showcase which was featured in Traditional Homes.
What a life...
Today I'm a happy Charlottesville realtor selling fabulous Charlottesville real estate, Virginia historic homes and Virginia horse farms.
