Jim Falconer writes: “I am always a little disappointed when the BAM arrives and there are no entries from the Class of ’67. Why? I would like to be reminded of my years at Brown, as well as be surprised and/or inspired by what my classmates are doing. Well, I guess I am as much at fault as the rest of you. So, here it goes. I have been married to my Danish wife for over 54 years, which has brought me joy, two children, four grandchildren, and one step-grandchild—plus a large, warm, and welcoming Danish family. I practiced law for 25 years after graduating from Stanford Law School. After working for a large Seattle law firm, I formed a law firm with other Stanford classmates. In 1995, I started a private investment company focusing on urban real estate, the Alaska fishing industry, and various start-ups. Being partially retired, I now concentrate on community projects, including affordable workforce rental housing, independent journalism, and environmental restoration. You can check out some of the foregoing by checking Seattle Times Investigative Reporting and Climate Lab projects. Also, you can enjoy on your public radio station one of our favorite projects: BirdNote. If you want to see inspired middle schoolers, check out the Washington Native Plant Society YEER project. But, to see what keeps me going, check out the article on my Covid pandemic adventures in the April 18, 2021, edition of the Wall Street Journal. Yes, life has been good, but, of course, not without some sorrows along the way.
So, let’s hear from you.”
