Personal Commentary
In 1973, I started writing a monthly generic article concerned with some phase of smaller firm management. The article was circulated to a number of trade journals, each in different industries. I have continued this writing since retiring from the University.
In 1975, I started teaching and continue to teach a University of California correspondence course in Small Business Management.
