I was married in 1968 and had three children. The oldest one, Laura, graduated from the University of Illinois – Urbana-Champaign with a B.S. and M.S. in Plant Pathology. The second one, Julie, graduated from the University of Illinois – Chicago with a B.S. in Mechanical Engineering. My youngest child, Daniel, is attending Southern Illinois University at Carbondale
I became single again in 1993.
I have no plans for retirement; I enjoy my work and freedom to do as I
please. I still get back to Columbia occasionally and hope to spend more
time there in the next few years.
