Go to the buttons on the left for a general exploration of this site, my work, my students work, about me and other such stuff.  Go below to the dedication to John, to the "Academics" box for course material, and to the "Grand Tetons" box for my other life as a ranger.  The soccer button has videos of Jane's games and the photo gallery is mostly soccer stuff.  My "Old Web Page" below has some family photos and a bunch of broken links I have not fixed yet.

 

I dedicate this website as I do my life to my son:

Center for Nonviolent Human Rights Advocacy Check these guys out.  New on campus.	In the summer, I am the volunteer ranger at Leigh Lake in the Grand Tetons National Park.  Along with my lifetime sweetheart, Jean Reagan, we are the only rangers in the South part of the Park that are permanently stationed in the back country.  Our assignment is to keep the bears and people at bay.  Click here for a slide show (works in Microsoft Explorer but won't work in Mozilla).   This bear, "Alfred," was driven to desperation by the current drought.  He stalked hikers, shredded tents and jumped on my tent when I was in  it!  Somewhere along the line Alfred scored food from campers who were not careful.  Now he's dead.
