Papas Fritas To Fois Gras: A Memoir

This book consists of 52 brief papers about events in my life between the ages of 5 and 65, some humorous some merely interesting. Included are several papers reflecting my personal philosophies. The author grew up in the Maryland suburbs of Washington, D.C. He has lived in Maryland most of his life except for three years as an Electronics Instructor in the Marine Corps while stationed in Millington, TN. Upon leaving Millington he earned a Master's Degree in Electrical Engineering at the UM. Another period of time not spent in Maryland began in 1972. After he obtained a PhD in Geology he then moved to Norfolk, VA where he spent 20 years as a full professor at Old Dominion University teaching Historical Geology and Paleontology courses. While a professor he wrote a number of refereed papers in scientific journals and later at Collington he wrote a number of personal memoirs as part of a memoir writing class. Upon retirement he moved to Annapolis, MD where he and his wife Joyce lived for 12 years with a beagle named Sophie. From there he moved to Collington, a Retirement Community in Mitchellville, MD where he now resides with his wife and another beagle named Leela. This is an easy read and may bring back some reader's own memories.
