Extended Profile
I am a retired university professor (English) Born Vienna, Austria, and refugee after 1938 Anschluss (which I witnessed as a small rug-rat) Lived in southern California in the car-crazy pre-American Graffiti era, took BA at Yale. Did Army tour in Europe with Military Intelligence, then Masters and PhD at University of Texas. Widowed, 2 children and two grandchildren.
My primary hobby is duplicate contract bridge tournaments, in which I have achieved consideable success: am currently ranked about 120th in the United States by the American Contract Bridge League, and still give lectures and playing lessons to students. Also like gardening. music (play guitar) raquetball, cooking, and my gray cat, Dorian.
Oh, and of course, reading.
