About me

Industry Education
Occupation Student, Professor, Dean, Meddler
Location Rural, New Mexico, United States
Introduction I grew up in an ordinary lower-middle class family, won a scholarship I didn't apply for,and so, to my great surprise, ended up going to college instead of working at TG&Y. My first teaching job was for grades 1, 2 and 3 in a 3-room country school in Kansas. Since then, I've TA'd, lectured, professored, and deaned. In 35 years driving a lectern, I threw only 2 students out of class, but I met a lot of administrators I could do without.
Interests Standard schnauzers, beagles and dog shows; raising fruits, flowers and veggies for the local wildlife to raid; helping my kids run their lives.
Favorite Movies Dead Poet's Society, Patton, Mermaids, Witness for the Prosecution, Casablanca, Citizen Kane, Blazing Saddles, Kurosawa
Favorite Books If it has a cover and printed pages, I'll read it.
