What’s been happening:

After completion of my PhD in 1969, I completed thirty-two years as a professor at the University of Rhode Island. My teaching career covered the areas of teacher education of agriculture, international development and animal science. For eight years I traveled extensively around the world administering projects in developing countries. One of the projects involved the establishment of the agricultural component of the University of the Azores. In addition to teaching, I served as chair of the Athletic Advisory Board and faculty NCAA representative. I served as chairman of the International Section for the Land Grant University Division of Agriculture in Washington, D.C., during 1990-1991. In 2000, the year of my retirement, I received the Outstanding Alumni Award from the Department of Dairy and Animal Science at PSU. My wife, Sandy, and I established an endowment in the Penn State Department of Dairy and Animal Science to assist the University of the Azores on the island of Terceira. We live in Eustis, Florida, for most of the year. In the summer, we travel to our second home in the tiny village of Biscoitos on the island of Terceira, Azores. We usually spend the summer months of June through September on the island.
