Albert, the prof

Hey I have lived a long time so I won't go into all the details of my fascinating life.  Basically I have lived in Portland, OR., Austin, TX, and now here (since '96).  I like Athens but miss my cities too. I was born in New Orleans and grew up from age 4 on in Winston-Salem.  For a short time in the 1940s my mother was a member of the Communist Party.  I had dinner once with Maya Angelou.  She is kind of wacky. 

I took a long break from college and went back, first studying music and then English, when I was in my 30s.  I write songs and poems and some other stuff. 

I look forward to our explorations this term.
