About meI have spent 35 years as a college professor, an occupation that has provided me with someone who will pay me to do what I most enjoy: read and write!

About my libraryAs a former newspaper reporter, I have a wide range of reading interests, and my library reflects this. It is like Nebraska's Platte River in the spring: two miles wide, and two inches deep!

LocationA Yooper in exile in Southern Illinois

Hi, Walter - A Yooper, huh? I found you when doing a search on Curt Stadtfeld's book about his Remus farm boyhood. I used to have it, but lost it, and plan to look for another copy. I did the college prof thing too, but only lasted five years and ran screaming back to the army. All those Freshman Comp themes. Where in the UP are you from? Are you retired yet? I grew up where the wedding band would show on the mitten. It's in my book, Reed City Boy. I see we share a few interesting books. Hope to hear from you. - Tim
