I was a professor of curriculum and instruction at East Tennessee State University and am now in emeritus status. Currently, I teach English composition part-time at George Mason University. I have taught in Cincinnati, Turkey, China and the Czech Republic.

Now, the Hard Part
The hardest thing about leaving China is leaving friends. If you spend time halfway around the planet, there are folks you connect with, people you'll miss. When I go to Shandong this Fall, it will be to a different region of China, and I may not get down here to see any of the crew.
Above: gifts I received from the crew here at the Oxford Academy.
Likely, this is the last entry I will write from Nanjing. I fly out tomorrowmorning. I'll be writing about my re-entry experience when I return. I imagine Johnson City will look rather different after two months here. When I'm back in America, I'll be able to read your comments. Be in touch.
