Being the Undergraduate Chair of the English Department has been astonishing, electrifying, outstanding opportunity for all of our English majors and myself! Creating time within your daily-overbooked agenda as my teacher introducing me to the electronic world. Such as E-mail, Gopher, and then moving onto the World Wide Web. This experience has been quite challenging, and exciting to me. You have been a tremendous asset to the Undergraduate English Program, and a great gift to all of us.

Al, you're always cooking with gas!

Recipient award winner of 1998 Pennsylvania Professor of the Year. I can not think of anyone who deserves this but you. Best wishes, and congratulations to you and your family!
