Why do the students refer to me as the
"Boomerang Geologist?"
I was cast out of here in 1962 to go
and seek my doctorate and my fortune. I found one at the University
of Illinois, but not the other. I later did a post-doctorate with
a French oil company (Elf Aquitaine), worked for the government,
worked for a private company, and did a sabbatical at a French
university. All this allowed me to travel to 50 countries on 6
continents to see some geology and meet a lot of interesting people.
In 1988, I "boomeranged" back to the department and
have had a great time since that opportunity came along.
