Personal Commentary
I had the pleasure of serving as Dean of a major university school during the period of greatest growth at SJSU. During this time I enjoyed taking part in developing strong and unique programs at both the graduate and undergraduate levels along with the development of appropriate faculty During my “deanship” numerous new Masters programs were put in place, for example, in Nursing, Mass Communications, Meteorology, Recreation and Leisure Studies, Industrial Technology just to name a few.
One of my greatest pleasures and feeling of accomplishment evolved from being the one, along with Dr. John Harville, to establish the Moss Landing Marine Laboratories. It was an operation that’s success has been established through the record of these past years.
My whole new “career” in the field of Horology has been fun, rewarding, and has given me and my wife an excellent chance for post retirement activities which involve scholarship, service, and happiness.
