Today our friend Dennis Cope came over with BART--which is what he calls his Big Red Truck-- and together with Joe, they carted away the small formica-topped desk I was given at age 14. The thing is virtually indestructible, which is why I had it so long; but placing a computer on top of it was crowded. For years, I've been piling papers on the study floor and reading articles in bed. Finally, I have replaced it with something that fits how I work.
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.
