Description

"Hungarian by birth, American by citizenship, human being by choice." For years now I have been using this witticism when introducing myself to people I have just met. So (I suppose) it's appropriate for me to use it here, too.

The autobiographical impulse is a dangerous commodity because we all love to talk about ourselves. I hope I shall manage to exercise proper restraint. Suffice it to say that I came to the United States at the ripe old age of 18 back in the prehistoric year of 1959. My mother and I lived in New York City for a while. Then in Cleveland, Ohio, where I was soon (too soon?) married. After graduating from John Carroll University with a B.A. (magna cum laude) in 1967 and an M.A. in 1968, my wife and I moved to Baltimore, Maryland, where I attended graduate school at the Johns Hopkins University, where I earned a Ph.D. in English in 1974, two years after completing my studies there and just about the same number of years after getting divorced.

In the fall of 1972 I assumed my first full-time teaching position at Saint Meinrad College in Southern Indiana. There I stayed until the place - alas! - closed after the 1997-98 school year. By that time I had also put in just about 20 years of part-time teaching at the University of Southern Indiana. In the mid 90s I had the pleasure of teaching for a few years in the Liberal Studies Program at the University of Evansville as well.
