Hi ... Sunday, September 7, 2014 from South Texas – Edinburg, to be specific.
Just had a brief talk with Fred Carus and heard you had a good time at the reunion, I am looking forward to seeing the pictures.
I am still teaching at The University of Texas – Pan American (UTPA), in fact Fred contacted me in the midst of working on my Monday and Tuesday classes. I’m a Full Professor in the Department of Mathematics. The University is at a historic moment as the UT System transfers all to the University of Texas Rio Grande Valley which is intended to be a Tier-One research institution. I started (1987) at the university when it was called Pan American University (PAU); akin to LPO Junior College, UTPA started as a Junior College (1927) in the same building as the then Edinburg High School. UTPA became a university in 1969 (PAU) and joined the UT System about 1991 (UTPA). Now everything is phasing into UTRGV. It’s interesting be a part of this, and I am eager to see it get off to a good start.
Both of my daughters are “all grown up”; the eldest and my grandson live in Seattle, Wa, my younger daughter is a special education teacher at a suburban school south of Austin, TX. My brother Joe and his family still live in the LaSalle-Peru area; I visited them a little while this summer; ‘would like to have more time for visits in the future.
Once again, I’m glad things went well and am looking forward to seeing the pictures.
