Vita:

Concluded active duty after Field Artillery service in Germany in 1964 to enroll at Tulane.  Received MBA in 1966.  Worked as engineer at Exxon's Baton Rouge refinery until 1969, when sent to Houston as a senior supply analyst.  Left the oil company in 1971 for Loyola in New Orleans, where received JD in 1974 and have practiced insurance defense law ever since.

Carolyn has been a rock of encouragement in my greatest challenge, coping with neurological  deficits resulting from a stroke in 1991.  My several workouts at the gym and round of golf each week do much to sustain morale.

Now  largely retired, but still practicing "Of Counsel" with the new law firm of Farrington And Thomas, LLC (same old phone, fax, and address).  I hope to be able to phase out all practice of law in due course and spend more time with family, reading, travel, physical activities, and  other retirement endeavors. I shall always continue to look forward to reunions and smaller gatherings with my West Point classmates.
