Born in
Howard Lake, MN. Married to Doris J.,
two children. Encouraged adult
education leaders to put more of their efforts into research and theory
building. Identified major concepts
from sociology, social psychology, psychology, administration, and history and
charted their relationship to the graduate curriculum of adult education and
research needs of the field. Currently,
he and Doris run AAABE Associates out of their home in Grand Marais, MN, an
organization devoted to helping promote growth throughout the life span. They deal especially with people who have
retired.
