Sentimental Journey Home I (1965 to 2018): Stamping Out Ignorance in Aggieland: One Professor's Memories and Reflections

The book focuses on assorted memories, meanderings, and musings related to my 52-year tenure as a Professor of Psychological and Brain Sciences at Texas A&M University in College Station, Texas. Reflections on teaching, favorite students, funny and/or quirky colleagues with whom I have worked, the history of the university, fascinating clients I have met in counseling, my wife and children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren, thirty-five years of playing, officiating, and coaching softball, fifteen summers of Study Abroad experiences with over 400 Aggies, life experiences in Australia, New Zealand, the Fiji Islands, Iran, and a great part of mainland Europe, and stories of people and events that have transpired over the last fifty-two years of my life are grist for the mill. My wish is to amuse, educate, entertain, and perhaps occasionally antagonize the reader with my take on life as I have experienced it in the last half-century. The interested reader may want to also take a look at Okie Boy, Texas Aggie to gain a fuller understanding of the background events that shaped those in the present volume.
