My extra curricular passions are golf and reading.  While a student at Texas Tech University on the undergraduate and graduate levels, I received degrees in History and English and lettered on the varsity golf team.  But I was always torn between a need to read (for class and for pleasure) and a need to go to the golf course. golf.gif (30144 bytes)

My need to read usually won out as I drifted into teaching when I was offered a graduate fellowship.  I have taught at the college level since 1965 at Texas Tech University, at Dalton College (a community college in north Georgia), and at Eastfield College since its opening in 1970.

link to Texas Tech UniversityAt present, with my wife Shaeron, I like to travel, collect antique pain relief tins, read, write for publication, and play golf.  Favorite authors are William Faulkner and William Styron.  I have published three dozen articles, reviews and short stories with my favorite being a narrative on attending a family reunion ("Reunion"  published in the Dallas Morning News).  My favorite unpublished story is "To Be Bobby Lokey," a story loosely based on a young man I met briefly when I was a seventh grader in Big Spring, Texas many years ago. This story was my contribution to the 2003 Eastfield Arts Exposition Week and was read by Theatre Professor Bob Erwin. When I can, I like to escape to Ruidoso, New Mexico to read, write and play golf at the Inn of the Mountain Gods.

I have linked some of my favorite internet sites for you to view.
