I went to Washington University for a B.S. in Chemical Engineering
followed by graduate school at the University of Wisconsin for a Ph.
D. in physical chemistry. I think that a great change in my life began
when I left St. Louis to go to Madison, Wisconsin and a wholly new
world. I am still attached in many ways to the culture I found in that
part of the country. Phil Fishman and I were roommates the first year
that I was a graduate student in Chemistry at Wisconsin while he was
in his first year in law school.
I have a daughter who lives in Minneapolis and am susceptible to
enticements to move there.

I left Madison for a postdoctoral position at Brookhaven National
Laboratory and then a faculty position in physical chemistry at
Colorado State University. I had too much of a life in the
laboratory and computer center so I returned to Madison and
went to law school while I worked for the Institute for
Environmental Studies.
