Kelly's Story

Life (update 6/24/06) Hello to Bay and Harney alumni - here's a quick sketch for any who visit here - I've been back in the Vancouver area for the past three years, piecing together an income from several of the campuses in Portland / Vancouver. I have recently connected with a tenure-track position at a very nice community college in northern New Jersey, and will be leaving shortly (August '06). The rest of the story remains the same, with minor addition: I have completed a manuscript on prize fighers from the "golen age" of about 1890 - 1910, and hope to obtain an agent or a publisher before long. The prior history remains as follows: Following Bay graduation in '69 I went to Clark, then to UW (BA Philosophy and Psych; MA Phil), and after teaching for several years around Portland and Vancouver, did a Ph. D. in philosophy at the Claremont Graduate School in California with emphasis in philosophy of religion. Away...Expand for more
from the academic scene, I took part in several amateur and one "tough man" boxing contest, getting a few peices of hardware for the mantle, and until a few years ago was working out regularly at a local (SLC) boxing gym in spare hours. I now swim or hike regularly to stay in shape, and was certified in scuba a few years back. Over the years, I have taught English and philosophy in China, Russia, and the Slovak Rep., and was a visiting fellow in '98 at the University of Wales (Lampeter). My then-wife Maria and I (married in '95) were blessed by arrival of son Chace McGwire, a gorgeous and good-natured little fellow, in 2001. In recent years I have shifted emphasis from teaching to writing, and have now published four books on religion, moral philosophy, and metaphysics, and one on heavyweight champion (1899 - 1905) James J. Jeffries. I still love the NW as nowhere else, and hope to settle here one day again. Very best to all, Kelly

I took this shot of Mama in our back yard around the time we graduated from Bay. A nice shot, though nicer if I had all of her at the bottom ! Happy birthday, Ethel Marie, 110 today.
This one my son and I found a couple of months ago in a storage shed - long lost, I had feared, with many others in two albums that I had not seen in more than a decade. On the back is a note identifying this as my first d
Another lost treasure, around the time that they brought me home from the old St. Joseph's Hospital in downtown Vancouver. My father, whose shadow is at bottom center, angled the camera a little on purpose, I think, giving
