Your personal background.
I was born on Friday, 13 December 1935 in Shattuck, Ellis County Oklahoma. I attended grade and high school at Arnett, Oklahoma, the county seat of Ellis County, graduating in 1954. I graduated with honors from Oklahoma Baptist University (Profile In Excellence award 1985), with majors in physics and mathematics and a minor in chemistry in 1958. I got the Ph.D. in theoretical physics from Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1963. After two and one-half years as a postdoctoral appointtee at Lawrence Livermore Laboratory , in Livermore, California, I taught two years at Kentucky Southern College in Louisville, Kentucky. I joined the physics faculty at Virginia Polytechnic Institute (now Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University) in 1967. In 1996 I took an early retirement option at half pay with no duties; I officially retired on 1 June 1998. L. David Roper, http://arts.bev.net.roperldavid
