Amusing Story: I once met a woman in the parking garage who was about to interview for a position at my university. It was a day that I was moving to a new office, wearing jeans - not one of my best dressed days. She was carrying my journal in her arms and I asked her if she was a reader. She informed me that she was an author - and I informed her back that I was the editor. She said "you must be kidding..." and I said I wasn't - she would see me on the 'editorial' page. She opened the journal and it was only one of 2 editorials that I didn't write in 21 years I've served as editor! It took a while before she ever believed me!

3 words: Geeky, supportive, workaholic

Strangest Request: To publish a crossword puzzle in the journal

If not an editor: Nothing - it has been such a part of my life I can't imagine doing anything else.

Relax?: Video editing!
