Personal info

My educational endeavors have been extensive and varied:

Two years of military school at Schreiner Institute in Kerrville, Texas.

One year at El Campo High School in El Campo, TX. Graduated in 1966.

One year at Trinity University in San Antonio. Physics major. Unfocused and unproductive.

One year at Wharton County Junior College. Drunk most of the time. Skipped a lot of classes. Still made good grades.

Two years plus a bit at The University of Texas resulting in a B.A. with a major in psychology and all the pre-med requirements.

Will finish the course work for a master's degree in Information Systems Management in Feb 2007.

And now I have done that. I have the degree. What I need is a decent job. 

In this area, like that of education, my experience has been varied and extensive.

Things I like: well-written publications of any kind, most music, some movies, camping on the beach

In addition there is a host of things to which I am indifferent. I find as I age that list grows longer.
