I began part-time work at the University of Mary in 1977 while serving as a pastor (which I did for 44 years, from 1958 to 2002). I am now retired but continue to serve on the faculty. I enjoy the mix of students in evening classes. I like to say “Teaching is my favorite stress reliever and inspiration.”
