When "I" Might Be, Where "We" Are, or What You Will (ePub)

Born in Topeka, Kansas, Rudolph McNair grew up in Omaha, Nebraska, the son of a prominent local Baptist minister and theologian (also named Rudolph McNair). In Omaha, Rudolph, the younger, attended Creighton Preparatory Jesuit High School, receiving second honors. He then also went to board at Campion Jesuit Preparatory High School, in Prairie du Chien, Wisconsin where, in his third (junior) year, he achieved an early merit entrance scholarship to Morehouse College in 1970–71. Transferred to Webster College, in Webster Groves (a suburb of St. Louis) Missouri (1972–1974), Rudolph was an undergraduate philosophy major, reading topics in problems of philosophy and history of major philosophical systems (including reading courses in epistemology, antimetaphysics, Wittgenstein, phenomenology, Husserl, the philosophy of self-consciousness, and reading courses in Merleau-Ponty and Popper). He also attended graduate courses in philosophy at the University of Missouri at St. Louis, by special permission (1975). After college, Rudolph contributed to research at the VA Hospitals (psychopharmacology labs of Dr. Bernard Korol, PhD, 1976) behavioral and immunological studies, where he designed an accurate measurement of the relationship between metabolism and specific gravity. Mr. McNair also worked as a research assistant to Afreda Brown, at the Black Studies Institute at St. Louis University, and as an EEO Officer for the Office of Manpower-Human Development (1976). By the late ’70s he moved to Los Angeles, California, and worked as a psychology tech and medical clinician (certified nursing assistant, 1978) at VA Hospitals. He was awarded a civil service commission (GS4) in 1979–80. But his career continued in the secretarial and administrative services for thirty years thereafter, from which he has retired after a ten year stint as a deputized court clerk and administrative assistant with the Los Angeles County family law facilities.
