My Biography

Here are photos of my family:

3Of course, my family is the most important part of my life. Here I am with my wife Susan at Manor Park in Larchmont, New York. We met at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, when we were working on our master's degrees in reading education.

4In 1985 Susan gave birth to our first set of twins: Anna and Rachel. Although it looks like we may have dressed them alike, we usually did not. We have tried to respect their individual differences.

3Anna and Rachel are all grown up now and finishing college, but it seems like only yesterday that they were getting to know the world on their terms. Here they are in England in 1988, visiting Brougham Castle.

4In 1990 Susan gave birth to our second set of twins: David and Chloe. Some people asked if they were identical (HINT: how could a boy and girl twin be identical?).

3Now David and Chloe have grown up and are almost finished with high school. For a long time Chloe wanted to be a princess and David wanted to be a knight. What does the future hold for them?
