Comments:

Graduated from Wake Forest University. I have now been practicing chemistry for more than 30 years. One of these days, I might "get it right", Ha! My career started at Ciba-Geigy Corporation in Greensboro, NC, then later as Director of Chemistry at En-Cas Analytical Services in Winston-Salem, NC. Later I set-up the Aquatic Toxicological Section and Chemistry Sections for Wildlife International in Easton, Maryland. Most recently I have move near Philadelphia, PA to set-up some additional chemical groups for Arkema/Total and now for Jai Research Foundation (where I served as Vice President of Operations for JRF America running the chemistry groups for the Americas). I have moved back to Winston-Salem NC and married my junior high / high school sweetheart after being apart for over 30 years. I am so lucky to be back home and have a loving wife (and nurse) Sharon to look after me and keep me on the straight and narrow path.

In my spare time, I serve on the Council of the American Chemical Society, where I chair some national committees, as well as serve on the Advisory Board for the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry. I fondly remember the good times at East Forsyth and especially my days as manager of the basketball team and the charitable events sponsored by the Key Club. I enjoy my Masonic Lodge activities again here in WS! Sharon and I enjoy travel and the arts! We have gotten back to the Symphony and even playing poker regularly with our group of friends and neighbors. I hardly recognize the East Forsyth campus. It has grown significantly since our days there! I have grown older and "wider" too as the years have gone by!

School Story:

Everytime I hear the theme song to the Harlem Globe Trotters, I still remember the "suicide drills" that Coach Hayes had the basketball team run everyday. He was tough on the teams, but the character and spirit of the coaches and team was a lifelong lesson. I still follow the Team Spirit principals from those early days.
