I still enjoy
teaching after 40 years at Lehigh. Outside of Lehigh I am a huge sports fan,
following my favorite teams and attending countless games. I am also an entertainment enthusiast, going
to independent movies, theater performances, and concerts. I am a political
junkie, reading, listening, and observing important national people and issues. Traveling is also something I like to
do. Finally and most importantly, I
enjoy being with my family.

Staying very
active and helping others are my secrets to being content.
