	A quote often attributed to Albert Einstein
	(rumour has it that he probably didn't say it - but it sounds good!)

   "As a young man, my fondest dream was to become a geographer.  
    However, while working in the customs office I thought deeply 
    about the matter and concluded it was far too difficult a 
    subject.  With some reluctance I then turned to physics 
    as a substitute."

   Southern Illinois University at Edwardsville is located in 
   the St.Louis metropolitan area on 2660 scenic acreas. The 
   enrollment at SIUE is about 13,500 students who are 
   served by approximately 850 faculty members.

	About Me
	Class Materials
	Addresses

    I am a cultural/social geographer with teaching interests 
    in human geography, cultural geography, urban geography, 
    LDC development, the history and philosophy of geography, 
    and introductory physical geography.

Research

    My current research interests include:
	The geography of ACT Scores
        The geography of U.S. poverty
        Poverty and its link to banking structure in Appalachia
	The geography of Affluence

    I have had a book published:
	"The Geography of United States Poverty:
	Patterns of Deprivation, 1980-1990"
	Garland Publishing Inc., New York, 1996
	ISBN 0-8153-2536-3	HC110.P6S45 1996

    I have also written a paper that contrasts the development of East St. Louis
    and Glen Carbon-Edwardsville.  The focus is on the contrasting historical
    roots of these communities.
