| EDUCATION - TEACHERS & RESEARCH ADVISORS
I am very grateful for the efforts of my teachers and research advisors!

Mr. Wagner, Mr. Peek (shown above), Mrs. Fox, Miss Minotti (who became Mrs. Wagner, shown above), Mr. Doherty and many others | Champlain Valley Union High School, Hinesburg, Vermont. I never expected to receive an amazing education at a school that was located next to a cow pasture. The teachers were interesting, knowledgeable and dedicated. |

Klaus Wulff (deceased), ACS Project SEED advisor | Project SEED instilled in me a love of chemistry. I thank graduate students Jim O'Neil and Sue Lee for inspiring me and for putting up with a geeky high school student on a daily basis. Follow the link to see a C&E News article. |
University of Vermont (retired) He and
graduate student Paul Shannon They both taught me that synthesis should not be viewed as just science. It is an art. | |

University at Buffalo (SUNY Buffalo, retired) Mentored my PhD resarch project: Transition-metal complexes of organoaluminum phosphides He taught me anaerobic techniques, glassblowing and, most importantly, how to be a good teacher. After being inspired by watching him teach, I started to think that I might want to be a professor at a university . |
| Northwestern University (retired) Mentored my postdoctoral project: IR studies of transition-metal clusters on oxide surfaces Special skills he taught me: Anaerobic techniques (Shriver wrote the book!)
