BA - Adams State College; MA, PhD - Southern Illlinois University.
I taught Biology, before finishing PhD, for three years at Univ. SD at Springfield (now a prison!). After receipt of the PhD (1975) we moved to WV where I was part of the initial faculty of Marshall University School of Medicine (Huntington) from 1975-1986. We then moved to Iowa, where I was clinical anatomist for the Iowa Methodist Medical Center and Des Moines VA Medical Center general surgery residency programmes. In 1992, we moved to Dundee, Scotland, where I was Senior Lecturer of Anatomy at the University of Dundee until I retired in 2007.
After I retired, we moved to Port William, Scotland, where we now live in an old (1850's?) cottage, half of a "duplex", and rent the other half of the duplex out as a holiday cottage. Gardening and woodturning keep me busy when we are here. However, I also do some Visiting Professor work at St. George's University (on the Caribbean island of Grenada), King Saud Unilversity (Riyadh, Saudi Arabia), and irregularly at some UK universities, primarly because I enjoy anatomy and interacting with students in the lab.
