Life
After graduating from Poly I went to college, motivated largely out of a desire to not get shipped off to "Nam". Following the completion of my undergraduate education + teacher certification program I taught in the Corona-Norco school district for 5 years. I left teaching to pursue a career in cancer research, which required 8 additional years of education + training. Married at about the same time as completing my PhD program, and had two children in association with a relationship that lasted for 12+ years.

experience was challenging but also rewarding, especially now that all 4 children are well into their adult lives, and, for the most part, seem to be satisfied with who they are and what they are doing.

Now fully separated/retired from directing a program in cancer research, which was my line of work for some 35 years, I'm enjoying life as part-time teaching faculty at a Penn State branch campus in York, PA, and spending more time on family-related activities as well as my golf game.
