Occupation: English Professor at Adelphi University, Garden City, NY and Chairman of their English Dept.

Served in the Ambulance Corps as an ambulance driver in Italy in WWI. During WWII was a civilian instructor for the American Army in England.

A quiet man with a wry sense of humor. When asked by his wife, Marion, "Why don't you say something?" His answer was "I've forgotten how!" (inferring that she overshadowed all talking).
