Introduction	I was born and raised in a small town in Wisconsin and received a B.S. and M.S. degree in Geology from the University of Wisconsin in Madison. I spent two years in NYC working toward a Doctorate at Columbia University from 1960-62 and performed in Greenwich Village coffee houses. I moved to Stamford, CT in 1964 to work at the Stamford Museum & Nature Center where I was Executive Director from 1970-2000 when I retired. I have five CDs of folk and gospel in print, and have been very active in church music. I play acoustic and electric guitar and have had many of the songs I've written performed by other musicians.
