I started taking photos for the Daily the summer of 1957 and for the next 4 years or so took photos for the Daily and/or Ensian. I received both a BS and MS in Chemical Engineering from Michigan. Following graduate school in 1971, I went to work for Kodak. When I left Kodak in 1993, I started a new career as a technical writer and consultant covering the rapidly developing digital imaging marketplace. Since then, I've written about digital imaging for a variety of publications worldwide.
I've posted a few photos on the web that might be of interest to Michigan viewers:

The woman who would later be my maid of honor, Marjorie Brahms, was ed page asst. I went on to Medill for an MSJ. And subsequently got a husband from a path begun at the Daily. We're retired now. Some might know that guy I married, Paul Janensch, former editor, APME President and now Quinnipiac U. Prof Emeritus of Journalism.

ARLINGTON, Va. — University alum Eugene Robinson’s house was bustling on a humid afternoon late last summer. His nephew was relaxing on the couch, while his wife, Avis, and a friend were chatting and working in the kitchen. Like most in the Washington area in August, the household was preparing for a vacation.
