I am a retired professor. I last taught at Ewha Womans University, mostly composition, research writing, and cultural issues, but also the occasional graduate seminar on Gnosticism and Johannine theology and the occasional undergraduate course on European history. My doctorate is in history (U.C. Berkeley), with emphasis on religion and science. My thesis is on John's gospel and Gnosticism. I'm also an award-winning writer, and I recommend my novella, The Bottomless Bottle of Beer, to anyone interested. I'm originally from the Arkansas Ozarks, but my academic career -- funded through doctoral and postdoctoral fellowships (e.g., Fulbright, Naumann, Lady Davis) -- has taken me through Texas, California, Switzerland, Germany, Australia, and Israel and has landed me in Seoul, South Korea. I've also traveled to Mexico, visited much of Europe, including Moscow, and touched down briefly in a few East Asian countries. Hence: "Gypsy Scholar."

Safe travels.
We reached the Ozarks alive.

Well begun is half done.
And here I thought I had it made in the shade . . .

Say 'hi' to all those guys, Jeff, Shannon and Pat in particular since I got to know them both well. I think about my crazy-intense tennis sessions with Pat and how I JUST got beat, and then JUST got beat, and then JUST...yeah. But I gave him a decent run for the money a lot of the time, at least in my own memory...! --Pete
Okay, I'll greet them for you. Thanks.
