I retired from Holy Cross in 2013, after thirty-seven wonderful years of instruction, scholarship, and service. Happily, I’ve had no problem filling my time pursuing personal interests. I am a much rewarded New England sports fan, and I enjoy soccer, especially at the international level. True to my southern roots, I still follow auto racing, including the various series of NASCAR and especially IMSA. I am an avid four-season hiker throughout New England, and during summers I have enjoyed solo adventures to the high peaks of Wyoming, Montana, Colorado, North Carolina, Oregon, and Washington. To get up and down the mountains, I stay active with jogging, spinning, and the usual fitness machines. I listen a lot to Americana and Roots music, mostly on noncommercial FM radio like WCUW in Worcester and on internet sources like the AmericanaMusicShow.com, Gravel Road on RockyMountainRadio.net, and Boot Liquor on SomaFM. In the spring and summer I tend my vegetable and fruit gardens. If I could, I would grow chocolate, lots of chocolate.
I am no longer active in academic pursuits, but I welcome communication and visits from former students. I’m still around Holy Cross as many days as not, either at the athletic facilities or Dinand Library.
