92. whoa-- my first teaching job out of grad school was at LVC....

Dec 2011

Two years in the biology dept (I think there were five of us). That would have been 1995-1997. I hated it-- living in Annville sucked, and the teaching load was horrendous-- no time for research, even in summer. But that's lovely country up there!
