Retirement does not mean metamorphosis into a couch potato.  Some retired professors continue to contribute to campus programs.  Art Stern is Faculty Advisor in Commonwealth College (CC is the Honors College).  Some of the best students on campus are enrolled in CC, and that makes advising enjoyable.  Art also teaches occasionally in Introductory Biology.  Some retired faculty provide service to home town, Amherst.  John Roberts is Trustee of the Jones Library.  Otto Stein is Member of Amherst Town Meeting.  Arthur Mange is on the Board of the Burnett Gallery of the Jones Library and recently exhibited his photographs.  Other retired faculty continue with scholarly endeavors.  Jack Palmer just finished a book (his eighth) entitled The Living Clock.  He spends summers at Woods Hole where he can be found in his office at the Capt. Kidd.  Ted Sargent just published an essay in "Human Traditions in United States History" (1924-1940 volume)  He gives talks on two continuing passions, birds and American historical figures. Ted has several books in preparation including a history of recent bird extinctions, "Burden of Sorrow: The Passing of American Birds."  Bud Moner is writing his memoirs of growing up (from tap dancer to budding scientist) in Bayonne, NJ.  Bob Wilce continues his research on Arctic algae.
