Essays and Memoirs on Life and Professional Experiences (ePub)

I was born in Central, New Mexico (now Santa Clara, NM) in 1937. My parents Estella and Henry were very supportive. I was raised in a rural area of Grant County, New Mexico with eight other siblings. I have a BS from Creighton University, an MS from the University of New Mexico, and a Ph.D. in genetics and parasitology from the University of Rhode Island. I also did a Postdoctoral at the University of Notre Dame. I've published science articles in professional journals, and recently started publishing my poetry. I was a Professor of Genetics at the University of Texas at San Antonio (UTSA), and was recently named Professor Emeritus. I have been associated with the UTSA for over 45 years; and have devoted my life to Higher Education. Also, I taught at the Texas A & M University at San Antonio and the San Antonio Community Colleges. I am now Adjunct Professor at the New Mexico State University at Las Cruces, New Mexico; and was named Professor Emeritus in 2005 by the National University of Trujillo, Trujillo, Peru while a Senior Fulbright Fellow there. I've received four Fulbright Scholar Awards; have taught abroad in Honduras, Costa Rica, Panama and Perú. I have also served as a Visiting Scientist with the National Science Foundation (NSF) and the National Institutes of Health (NIH).
This Booklet of essays and memoirs is dedicated to my son Karl Andrew, my daughters Elena Patricia and Anna Isabel, grandson Odin, and my academic daughters and sons, now as successful professionals. Both my biological and academic children from the United States and Schools abroad are and always will be extremely important. Their love, youth, courage, strength and hunger for knowledge were continuously most inspirational. This is my way of sharing their lives with the world.
