I recently retired as Associate Vice Chancellor for Research and Director of Compliance, University of Missouri, Columbia Campus (MU). I got here in 1977 as a brand-new Assistant Professor and have been on the faculty ever since. After leaving W&L, I attended the University of Virginia until I got my draft notice in 1968. Four years in the Air Force and then finished up school at the University of Maryland. Went to graduate school at Virginia Tech. Had a collateral career in the Army Reserve Medical Department and retired from that in 2005 after 30 total years. Went to law school in the mid-90's. My wife Melba and I live on a farm in Howard County, Missouri, and together we have four children. I'm down to a part-time appointment at MU for the next year and then we'll spend more time at our place in Colorado. I have fond memories of W&L and wish everyone the best.
