| Current news | Currently assistant professor of chemistry at Berea College. Interesting happenings since science camp include multiple natural disasters, including the Loma Prieta earthquake of 1989 and the Oakland Hills Firestorm, which claimed his rental home in 1991 while a graduate student. Most recently, Berea got hit by a tornado for yet another message from upstairs, but it seems the damage was not so bad and Jay was unscathed. Other major milestones include getting married in 1993 to Julie Duckart of Santa Cruz, CA. Jay and Julie lives in Berea with two dogs (Indy and Toby) and are happy when people visit (feel free to call anytime!) Jay returned to NYSC on Staph in 1989 after he graduated from Wabash. At Wabash, Jay was a member of TKE Fraternity where he served as treasurer for 1.5 years. Jay was active in the theater at Wabash (his part time job) about 10-20 hours a week and continued with some work as a graduate student with the Berkeley Contempary Opera company. Jay enjoys watching sports (and playing Rotissiere baseball), going to movies, playing on the computer, gardening and playing with the dogs (a 3 pound maltese) Jay was a Fulbright Scholar during the 2001-2002 academic year and worked in Lyon France with Lyndon Emsley doing NMR/MRI research. Jay and Julie have a 4 year old daughter named Katie who is growing fast (as they all do). In 1999, Jay's wife was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma and they have been doing treatment ever since. Currently they are living in Seattle where Julie is going through a autologous stem-cell transplant. | |
