One of my principal hobbies is photography, and one of my favorite subjects is classic steam engines, such as this Berkshire 2-8-4, made by the Lima Locomotive Works in Lima, Ohio. I took this photo of the Nickel Plate Road locomotive No. 765 in Vermilion, Ohio, in November 1987.
In addition to photography, I am a collector. I enjoy mechanical things of all sorts. This includes musical instruments, of course, but also antique telephones and typewriters, and especially vintage Lionel trains from the pre- and post-war era up to 1957. Here's a scene from a layout I once had on the living room floor:

Here is my wife Gisela, an assistant laboratory instructor and technician in the Neuroscience Program at Oberlin. |
Below is our daughter Jennifer and her husband Dan Weaver. They are holding Benjamin, our grandson, born December 5, 1998. Jennifer teaches developmental & molecular biology at the University of Colorado, Boulder. Dan, also a molecular biologist, works for a bio-tech firm. Jennifer and Dan have another son Dylan, born Feb 26, 2001. Benjamin and Dylan are pictured at right in a photo from October 2001.
