Personal Commentary
I was born and grew up in rural, central Missouri. In 1944, I enlisted in the U.S. Navy and served in Communications Security on the West Coast, Hawaii and the Pacific Ocean. My wife and I attended Drury College, Springfield, MO, where we got our Missouri Teaching Credentials in 1949. Fortunately, our Dean of Education wanted us to go to Stanford University; my wife majoring in graduate drama and I in Guidance and Counseling and Educational Psychology. We taught in the same school in Red Bluff, CA, and I taught eighth grade in Los Altos, CA, while I was getting my degrees, school administration and supervision credentials. My wife taught in San Francisco and Palo Alto.
I joined the San Jose State College Division of Education faculty in fall 1957, the 100th anniversary of the college. I taught there for 38 years; teaching educational psychology; educational sociology, research methodology and supervised hundreds of elementary student teachers and elementary intern teachers.
I took leave from teaching to do research and development at the Far West Laboratory for Educational Research and Development, Berkeley, CA, in 1966 through 1969. At the university, I served as project director of several projects including several on microteaching, assessing teaching competence and individualized instruction procedures. I was State Coordinator for Individually Guided Education for the University of Wisconsin Research and Development Center and Project Consultant for the California Teacher Development Project. In 1976‑76, I was Project Director for Project Interchange: The NASA/USOE Communications Technology Satellite Experiment No. 16.
In 1972, I received the Innovative Teaching Award, California Teachers Association.
In 1978, I was selected as Associate Dean for Research and Director, Office of Sponsored Programs for the University. University grant applications and awards more than doubled during the four years I served in that position. In 1982, I commenced the Faculty Early Retirement Program but was asked to serve as Associate Dean, School of Education during the following year. I continued in early retirement until I fully retired in 1995.
I have served as president or chairperson of several Palo Alto non‑profit organizations including Friends of the Palo Alto Library, Friends of the Children's Theatre, Junior Museum Associates, Council for the Arts: Palo Alto and Midpeninsula and, most recently, as Treasurer of the Palo Alto Historical Association. In June 1996, I received the City of Palo Alto Community Service Star Award, the first year it was awarded by the city.

I narrowly missed coming to San José State. I applied to teach there before I had my doctorate. One day I came home and my wife said, "You got a call from San José State, but I think I blew it. They asked for 'Doctor Kallenbach' and I said, 'Doctor Who?!"
I was accepted as an Assistant Professor of Teacher Education in September 1957. I was still completing my Doctor of Education dissertation at Stanford University when I was hired. I thought I wouldn’t even be interviewed. I taught and administered at San Jose State for 38 years, working to prepare over 3000 elementary and middle school teaching candidates for their careers in teaching. I had no student ever fail in student teaching or in getting a teaching job.
As a professor I applied for and received several research and development grants. My Project Interchange grant utilized a space satellite to broadcast instruction in individualizing instruction to students. The satellite was positioned at 23,000 miles high over Northwest South America.
My wife and I had three daughters and lived in Palo Alto for 51 years and then moved, in 2002, to Portland, Oregon to be close to one of our daughters. I am still living in Portland and am now residing in a Senior Retirement Community.
