Douglas Hazen

Marital status: Single
Is it OK to tell other class members your e-mail and phone number?: OK!
What have you been doing for the past 50 years?: After a stint in Vietnam '68-'69, I attended (or is it matriculated) a number of colleges and universities (my family assumed I had become a professional student). Eventually I discovered my niche, earned a Ph.D., and acquired a license to practice as a Clinical Psychologist. I was commissioned in the Navy in 1980. In 1989 I left active duty and joined Federal Civil Service, serving the Army and Marine Corp as a psychologist until settling back with the Navy. I am retired as of 31 December 2010. Easily the best thing about retirement is not having to wake up to an alarm clock in the morning. From my high school years, about the only person I've had contact with has been Dave Franklin, class of '61. But I am looking forward to seeing my fellow '62 high school classmates some day soon.
