Life
My Spouse
First date with Janice Latham Eley was one year to the day before we were married. We were both working on the National Education Association's Bargaining Election Team, and made our first date for the week after NEA won the election. Come December 18, 2012, our love affair will be 41 years old!
My Pets
My main buds are Jasper, my minature dauchund and Bogie, my doberman. All animals on the home place are friendly, actually, we are an anex to the Akron, Ohio ZOO!!!

My Job
Mostly, lots of fun! I get to interact with all of our teacher education students. Sometimes its a drag, though, if they aren't focused! Update 2009--although I'm retired, I have great memories of my days at The University of Akron as the Assistant Dean of the College of Education. My "job" now is kind of vaguel--somewhere between relax and enjoy life and Oh-my-gosh, how am I going to get everything done today!!!!
Looking forward to:
our next reunion of "Friends Forever."
If you're reading this, I hope you'll be there too.
