I’m from a small ranching/farming town in the Texas Panhandle, went to Rice University in Houston majoring in Biology and Chemistry with minors in theater and philosophy on the side, and working as a carpenter summers and other odd times. Serendipitously, landed a postdoc in the Department of Pharmacology, Univ. Virginia, with Alfred Gilman (I was his first postdoctoral fellow) and participated in the discovery of G proteins for which Al won the Nobel Prize in 1994. After 4 yr in Virginia, had several job offers, took the one at CWRU because it was a small, growing Department. I stayed at Case for 35 years until my retirement on 2011, although I don’t seem to know what the word “retire” means as I’m still working.
