After 34 years of teaching and research, I retired in 1988, but since then have occasionally helped with the lecture of ENT 301. I also continue to serve on prelim committees. To keep up with advances in entomology, I regularly attend departmental seminars. My interest in insect photography continues, and with these photographs I present talks to local nature centers and conservation groups.

For the past 8 years, I have helped in a survey of the insects species present in original and adjacent restored prairie areas in northern Illinois. Other activities include gardening, especially wildflower and water gardening. I also have a continuing interest in spawning and keeping both tropical and native fishes, and studying their behavior.
