As a retired English professor (Skidmore 1983-2019), I am happy to use some of my time contributing to the community and to sustainability. I also taught in our InterGroup Dialogue program. Most of my time now is occupied by leading or co-leading three different reading groups on race and racism; those interests led me into environmental justice. In my free time I enjoy biking, visiting my grandchildren, paddleboarding and kayaking, gardening, and reading.
