Previous major publications include Rainey of Illinois and Relief, Recreation, and Racism (a history of the Civilian Conservation Corps in South Carolina during the 1930s).
The author is a consummate teacher whose sixty-six years of involvement includes my offering instruction during military service, at two high schools, for two universities, at an enrichment school, and now for an independent living community. College administrative positions included positions grappling with such issues as student body integration, Vietnam War protests against ROTC credits, performing arts building construction, campus growth in the Liberal Arts in terms of number of majors, expansion and integration of faculty, emergence of new departments and programs, and solicitation of supporting funds through grants and donations.ver menos
