Born July 8, 1933 in Chester, Pennsylvania, he was the middle of six children. A so-so student in high school but a committed athlete, he discovered history, government and politics and philosophy at the University of Maryland under the guidance of Gordon Prange, author of Miracle at Midway and At Dawn We Slept, the definitive books on Pearl Harbor and the naval battle of Midway.
After serving two years in the U.S. Army, he matriculated at Dickinson School of Law in 1957 and graduated in 1960, sixteenth in his class.
Admitted to the bar in 1961, he began practice in Media. In 1979, he met Dick Thornburgh who appointed him, upon election as Governor, to the Judicial Inquiry and Review Board. It was there he collided with Supreme Court Justice Rolf Larsen, a classmate at Dickinson, when he voted to remove Larsen from the Supreme Court. His vote resulted in a twenty-year battle with the Disciplinary Board of the Supreme Court.
He was the recipient of the 1987 Public Service Achievement Award from Common Cause/PA for his efforts to reform the Pennsylvania judicial system..
In 1993 and 1995 he was a candidate for the Supreme Court and in 1997 for the Superior Court.
His passion is the law and his 37’ sailboat Maverick on which he has raced to Bermuda six times, visited Cuba three times, sailed from Maine to Mexico and lived aboard in the Exumas.
