The Texas Tribune Festival is one of the nation’s largest, most buzzworthy political gatherings. Our three-day festival brings Texans together to address the politics and policy that affect our communities, our schools, our work and our daily lives. We hope you will join us.

I served as a Peace Corps Volunteer in Ethiopia 1966-68. I retired in 2006 as a computer scientist, after working mainly at Burroughs Corp. and Univ. Texas CS Dept.

I now spend much of my time volunteering for Citizens' Climate Lobby . I'm most deeply involved in CCL's Monthly Calling Campaign , which enlists citizens to call their members of Congress every month to ask for action on climate change.
