<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;" align="center"><span style="font-family:Verdana; font-size:12px;">PhD, 1965, Louisiana State University, Physical Chemistry</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" align="left"><span style="font-family:Verdana; font-size:12px;"> Since retirement in 1996 I have spent my time reading, writing, watching Lawrence Welk reruns, traveling around the world with my lovely wife, and bowling on Tuesday nights. I am FAQ editor for The Chemical Educator and write a feature for The Journal of Chemical Education titled “The Physics Teacher” about once per year. The publications below were all written after my retirement. </span></p>
