Bio

 I taught Jr and Sr High English, debate, and speech at Ogallala for three years before going to grad school at the U of Utah for a PhD in Rhetoric and Communication Studies, After two years as debate coach at Old Dominion U in Virginia, I accepted a teaching and research position at the University of Iowa in 1974. I am currently retired Professor and Chair Emeritus from the Rhetoric Department at U Iowa, and moved with Christine (married 1992) to Lubbock (2005) for her new position as Professor of Business at Texas Tech University.
My sister, Bev, is a retired teacher living in Chadron, and I have two daughters and four grandchildren, living in Iowa and Michigan. Since leaving HHS, I have had thirteen 1957 Chevys and a number of other old cars and trucks as “stress-relief projects.” Some addictions, apparently, are hard to kick. Life has been good and I look forward to seeing ya’ll (West Texas talk) at our next reunion.
