Ted Schulenberg:
I have made a long slow glide into retirement. My primary hold on geology now is via teaching a
12 hour course in "The geology behind the scenery", which I present at our Adult Education Center.
Kerrville, TX has a high percentage of retired people and the course is intended to provide travelers
with some understanding of how and why the scenery that they visit came to pass. The course is well
received and I offer it twice each year. I am also active in our Hill Country Geoscientist group.
Geology has provided me with the means for an interesting career with a wide variety of types of work
and places to live (six countries and six states). Not many professions offer that possibility.
I have suggested this before and will do so again. Before I get too old to travel I would like to
see the Department organize and hold an all-class reunion of former geology students. I took on the task
of organizing the first reunion of graduate students of my era at the Jackson School of Geoscience at
The University of Texas. It was a success, and now departmental reunions for one segment or another
(they have a rather large number of geology graduates there) are an annual event.
Please consider it. Soon.
