I was fortunate to have a wonderful staff during my nine years as Department Chair. Sue Maddox, Department Secretary, covered all the bases and made my job look easy. Kay Karlson (in green) managed our graduate programs, and Terry Jones, our tech, took care of everything else.

My first academic appointment was in Psychology at University of Southern California. Ph.D. advisees (front row) included Terece Bell, Trish Beuhring, and Susan Siaw

Marty Covington nurtured my early interest in teaching and research, while Bill Rohwer was an inspirational Ph.D. advisor. In the end, the only sure criterion is to have fun. And I have had fun (expressed by Edward Tolman at this retirement in 1959 and a sentiment I share).
