Biography
Graduated Flint (Michigan) Central High School 1953.
Graduated Ferris State College, BS in Pharmacy 1957
Graduated Purdue University, Ph.D. Pharmacology 1962
After graduation from Purdue I worked in the pharmaceutical and chemical industries and taught at the undergraduate and graduate levels at Purdue University, School of Pharmacy (1966-1980) and Campbell University school of pharmacy (1988-1997).
I opted to retire from working for a living in 1997 and began enjoying being a scientist by consulting in the pharmaceutical, chemical and legal industries. My "duties" included scientific/medical writing, drug regulatory affairs and appearing in court as an expert. How lucky can one guy be? Everything I did was fun so it wasn't work at all...and to top it all off, I was actually paid to do it! You can't beat that with a stick!
After a thoroughly enjoyable 20 years as a consultant I realized that my cerebral synapses were not functioning as quickly as they once had so I decided to get out of the buisness before I made a fool of myself.
About a year before my mother's 100th birthday celebration those little green leaves in the Ancestry.com TV advertisements caught my attention and I thought it would be great fun to track her (and of course, my own) heritage.

Congratulations on certifying to work on pre-1700 profiles!
It’s very important to read and understand the Help:Pre-1700 Profiles page. These profiles for deep ancestors are shared by many, and collaborating on them works best if we all follow the guidelines laid out on that page.
Primary sources should always be added to pre-1700 profiles at the time they are created. If you don't have a source for a pre-1700 profile, it would be best to ask for help in the G2G forum ‘’’before’’’ creating the profile.
