About Me
- Name: Horace Jeffery Hodges
- Location: Seoul, South Korea
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."

He found himself lording it over Steve Canyon as head coach at Milford High and Steve’s new boss! The guy's a jerk! And he's a lousy US History teacher, too! (actually, it seems that Milford's such a sports powerhouse, Gil just has a full-time job as head coach, doesn't have to teach history, too--)
Doesn't teach history!? How can a coach not teach history? Doesn't he know that if he doesn't teach history, he'll never learn the lessons of the past great games?
I may have to start re-reading John R. Tunis and his wisdom in Go Team Go!
