Bill Leverington - 2003-10-14

1945 Born in Louisiana, Mo. on Dec. 19. ( Mother: Sarah P. Leverington. She lives in Louisiana Mo.; Father: William T. Leverington. He died April 22, 1994.)
1951 Attended Louisiana, Mo. schools (Grades 1 through 12)
1963 Graduated from Louisiana High School and attended Missouri University
1964 Transfered to Kansas University (To study Architecture)
1966 Entered the Army. I was stationed in Fort Leonard Wood, Mo., Fort Monmonth, N.J. and Viet Nam.
I was an Army Photographer.
1969 Returned to Kansas University
1970 Traveled and studied architecture in Europe for three months
1971 Graduated from Kansas University with a degree in Architecture, worked some part time jobs and traveled.
1972 Moved to Denver, Colorado, worked for a few different firms and people, traveled and attended graduate school in Planning and Urban Design at Colorado University.
1976 Became a registered architect. Joined an established architectural firm in Denver that provided corporate, government and institutional architectural services. I became a stockholder, an officer and eventually owned the firm.
2003 In February of this year I sold the firm. I will be doing some consulting work related to the sale of the firm. I plan to continue and increase my activity related to my avocations of drawing, painting and photography. I also plan to continue to travel, read, participate more in sports and outdoor activities (sking, tennis, golf, hiking, camping, biking, etc.) and get involved in some meaningful volunteer work.
2003 In April of this year the retina in my left eye became detached. After the operation to repair this problem a blood vessel in this eye ruptured which caused a series of additional problems that led to additional treatment and another operation. After five months since the detachment I still have substantial vision problems in this eye. I am currently working with three ophthalmologists to hopefully regain most of my vision in this eye. I am told that the eye is still in the healing process and consequently I am seeing the doctors often and will probably have to have another operation before this eye problem is resolved. I am told this process may take another two to three months. Because of this ongoing healing and medical process I will not be able to attend the reunion. I hope it will be a successful reunion and hopefully I will be able to attend the next reunion and/or see some of you individually once I have recovered from this eye problem.

2008
I am checking out the pictures from the 40th reunion on Charley's iPhone when he and Jerry Robinson stopped by my place in Louisiana while they were in town, April 5, 2008 for the LHS Alumni & Friends Association meeting. Charely & Jerry had lunch with Karl Dewey, his wife (Tina) and his daughter (Katie) before they stopped to seeing if I was in town.
