Hi all,

Enjoyed reading all of the posts to date - what a great idea.

I'm Rich (still Richard to my Mom) Licht, 2nd son of Bob and Esther. I live in Minneapolis, Minnesota with wife Lori and our 11-year-old son Adam. Our first-born, Kristen, is a senior at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, majoring in marketing. Our son John is a freshman at the University of St. Thomas in St. Paul. We think he's majoring in baseball and fun, at least for the first year anyway.

Lori and I are both accountants. We met when we both worked for Arthur Andersen & Co. We both left AA&Co. to work in industry, long before that venerable firm's sad demise. I am now a corporate reporting accountant for Graco (not the baby equipment company), which manufactures paint sprayers, industrial pumps and lubrication equipment. Lori has worked for the last 25 years for Jacobs Management Co, a holding company for the business interests of a wealthy entrepreneur by the name of Irwin Jacobs. Their holdings include Genmar, a boat manufacturer, and Watkins Products.
