My wife,Mary Beth, and I live in West Plains, Missouri, with our two spunky beagles, Rusty and Butter. Our son, Aaron, recently earned a Doctor of Pharmacy degree at the Saint Louis College of Pharmacy. I am very proud of my Arkansas heritage. I hold a Doctor of Higher Education Administration degree from the University of Arkansas. I have been an administrator in the Missouri State University System since 1984 and currently serve as the Dean of Student Services at the West Plains Campus. I am not a student of the Civil War, but it is certainly fascinating to me. My father and I located the site of a relatively small action near our hometown of Augusta, Arkansas, and we have documented our findings and subsequent research in my personal website. We hope you will enjoy it. We welcome your comments and suggestions.
