Across my chemistry career I was the author of 35 professional chemical publications, five patents, and a chemistry text book (General Chemistry for Engineers, editions in 2001, 2003, and 2004).
     In retirement, I have made a second career as an independent scholar of history and archeology focusing on the prehistory and pre-1800 history of Southwest Virginia. My regularly updated list of Publications and Presentations made in my encore career is on line at http://www.holstonia.net/files/Publist.pdf
     I became an American citizen on 4 July 1972 in Roanoke and am married to Deena Flinchum, a Wytheville, Virginia, native. Deena moved to Blacksburg after retiring in 2002 and has made her own highly successful encore career as a volunteer specializing in the complex issues of health care insurance for the elder community.
