In a paragraph or two, tell us your life story since leaving Purdue.
After Vet School, I went to Kentucky to practice, worked in mixed animal (large and small animals) or two vets in Campbellsville, KY for 2 years then bought half of a 2 man mixed practice in Cynthiana, KY; worked there for 5 years then sold the practice and moved back to Lafayette where I was a graduate student in veterinary pathology for four years and one semester at which time I was awarded the PhD degree, After receiving the PhD I stayed on at Purdue working as an anatomic pathologist. In '83 had the opportunity to go to Australia on sabbatical leave. In '85 was promoted to full professor in the Vet School and appointed Director of the Indiana Animal Disease Diagnostic Laboratories. In the late '90's I was given 2 jobs but only one salary having been appointed Head of the Department of Pathobiology in the School of Vet Med as well as Director of ADDL. I agreed to that dual appointment initially for 6 months but that turned out to extend to 6 years. I retired the first time '08 and the second in '11.
