Grandchildren:

Emma Marie Liebman was born 3/16/22 to Josh & Laura Liebman in Chicago. LOVING our perfect granddaughter, & close to our home too. Then on 12/9/2022, along came Zoey June Liebman, born to Corey & Robyn Liebman. She is perfect too, and joins our grand-puppy, Bagel, the dashing dachshund, in Brooklyn NY!

Anything Else:

After high school I attended Colgate University & figured I'd combine my love of science and the outdoors, so I majored in Geology & graduated in 1976. But i hated geological field work. So I came back to HP & worked for our family-owned design/manufacturing firm in Chicago for 5 years. Did lots of contract negotiations & figured a legal background would help. I attended night law school @ DePaul & got my law degree in 1983 & took off to practice law. I started in litigation defense for the insurance industry, HATED IT. So switched firms & did corporate & real estate law. After 5-1/2 years, I realized I wasn't very good at lawyering, but I liked the commercial real estate deals I worked on, the people in that industry, etc. So I went into commercial real estate brokerage, primarily in industrial real estate. I started at CB Richard Ellis (11 years), then Colliers Bennett & Kahnweiler/Colliers International (12 years, with David Kahnweiler, another HPHS grad), then Merit Partners LLC, a real estate brokerage/redevelopment/consultancy originally in Chicago (2014) & then in Northbrook (9 years). In 2023 I started my own firm, PowerPlay Real Estate Partners. We specialize in the exclusive representation of industrial & office buyers & tenants. It's been GREAT being out on my own!
I still officiate ice hockey, enjoy skiing, golf, biking, weight training, swimming, travel, reading & being with family (both my boys are married to fantastic women!) & friends.
Moved back to Highland Park from Deerfield in 11/2021, onto the street I grew up on, 8 houses away!

I sat in front of Susan in freshman year English class.  Even back then, she was funny, witty and VERY opinionated!  She made that class even more fun with her creative wit and outspoken style.  I ran across her a couple of times in our adult life, after her accident, and was amazed at her impact on the disabled person community in/around Chicago.  She will truly be missed.
