Thomas D. Parker
I started at KSU in 1965 as a Bob Treichler student, MA 67 PhD 1970. My Psych career was
short as I taught at Loyola U in Chicago for 5 years (69-74) at which point my family and I
"dropped out". I farmed and built custom furniture in northern Wisconsin until 1987 when my
French teacher wife decided to go to grad school. While she studied I worked in
Neurophysiology research at the U of Wisconsin, Waisman Center. She is now a full professor of
rench thet the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point and I am the executive director of the
Portage County Literacy Council...Wisconsin that is. (I occasionally get accicental volunteers
from Portage County Ohio)
