EDUCATION TEACHING EXPERIENCE REVIEWS FOR CHOICE MAGAZINE The past two years my son and I have participated in the Parkinson's Unity Walk. We do it to honor my father who was diagnosed with Parkinson's Disease in 1998 my first semester at Felician College and subsequently died in 2005, five hours before I got on the plane to see him one last time. Teddy and I will continue to support PARKINSON'S UNITY WALK  as long as we can, and we hope you can too. MAKING DONATIONS TO MY EFFORTS TO THE PARKINSON'S UNITY WALK My mother is a cancer survivor and participates in the relay for life. She has in the past (and maybe still does) organizes the survivors walk. We all gotta start some where.

The Last Lecture: Randy Pausch Although John F. Kennedy is talking about going to the moon, this could easily apply to “Why go to college, or why be a math major…”  …not because they are easy, but because they are hard, because that goal will serve to organize and measure the best of our energies and skills, because that challenge is one that we are willing to accept, … If he [a teacher] is indeed wise he does not bid you enter the house of wisdom, but rather leads you to the threshold of your own mind.   -Kahlil Gilbran, The Prophet          The astronomer may speak to you of his understanding of space, but he cannot give you his understanding. -Kahlil Gilbran, The Prophet  I am not a teacher but an awakener. - Robert Frost  By three methods we may learn wisdom: First, by reflection, which is noblest; second, by imitation, which is easiest; and third, by experience, which is the bitterest. -Confucius, philosopher and teacher  Give me a fruitful error any time, full of seeds, bursting with its own corrections.  You can keep your sterile truth for yourself.  ~Vilfredo Pareto When the student is ready, the master appears.  ~Buddhist Proverb  Beware of the man who works hard to learn something, learns it, and finds himself no wiser than before.  ~Kurt Vonnegut,  Jr
