On a more personal note ....

I live in Canton, Missouri near the college. I was born and raised in Massachusetts in the Connecticut Valley area of the state and I've spent most of my life enjoying learning, and I'm still at it! My principal hobby is observational astronomy.  But I'm an eclectic hobbyist. Some days you may find me with a telescope looking for obscure planetaries or with a microscope studying spores (my specialty is palynology).

On other days you may find me collecting fossils, rocks, meteorites or just watching nature.  On still other days you may find me reading, constructing mysterious objects, watching vintage sci-fi movies, or listening to avant-garde classical or progressive rock music.  Furthermore, I also like water skiing, cross-country skiing, hiking, and taking "century trips" on my bicycle.

Finally, I'm also an activist: I champion the cause of saving the Earth's biosphere and I advocate equal and equitable rights for all people worldwide regardless of their sex, cultural, or ethnic background.
