I was born in Maryland and spent my first thirty years living there, first in the Appalachian Mountains, then on the Eastern Shore, and later in suburban Washington. After a year in South Carolina, I moved to Georgia in 1977. I soon met another park ranger who worked in Florida. She was a wonderful woman who became my best friend. then my wife, and soon the mother of our three children. I spent over eleven years working in the historic city of Savannah, Georgia, and on the moss-draped sea islands nearby before moving to Atlanta.. In 2007, I retired from the National Park Service and a career dedicated to preserving and interpreting resources and themes in the cultural and natural history of the United States. It was a most rewarding experience. Today, I enjoy living in the rolling hills and woods of the Appalachian Piedmont east of Atlanta.
The New York Times education writer, Daniel Slotnik, provides readers with some fun as they ponder his fictional college quiz. It's a nice diversion for readers who happen to be filing scores of applications, drowning in financial aid paperwork or simply recalling those wonderful college years. And if you indeed have enjoyed such ignes eruditionis as Huxley College or Wossammotta U., OTR awards you an honorary Ph.D. in beatus viventium.
