I was born in Madison almost 50 years ago. My grandfather, A.J. "Hunk" Barrett, was a legendary math teacher, football coach and principal at Madison East High School. My father, Pete Barrett, earned advanced degrees in Law, Engineering, and Finance, and was an Olympic gold and silver medalist in sailboat racing. My mother, Laurie Barrett, who is still not sure what she thinks about my political activities (but admits that Building 7 is a mystery) is a math whiz and CPA among her many other talents.
