Donald “Don” Haslup Adams 954-816-0168 [email protected] Memories I cherish from Ohio Wesleyan Best opportunity for a fine education in a friendly social setting with many chances to experiment in extra-curricular activities (theater, WSLN, Boy Scout troop 93 thanks to Abbie Seamans' Sociology Course), etc. How Ohio Wesleyan influenced my life I appreciate the value of a liberal arts education that affects so much more than just a way to make a living. Became aware of Student Affairs as a career field. Professor I will always remember and why Harry Bahrick, for teaching a good work ethic and excellent teaching skills and a long- term friendship. Oh yes, and an amazing memory! Professor Robert Marshall, who upon realizing that my non-appearance at the Poetry class Final Exam was out of character for me, phoned his friend, the house mother at the Beta House to see if I was all right. One of the brothers woke me up and in record time I was in the classroom and allowed to finish the exam. He was a scholar, a caring man and a class act. Where I have traveled and places I would like to see Because of my second career as a Tour Operator and Director, I was able to travel to approximately 90 countries, visit all the states and provinces and to spend time living in Australia, South America and several European countries. Still on the list are China, Bangkok, Iceland and a return to Vietnam under somewhat different conditions. I've been fortunate enough to have had homes in over ten states and six foreign countries. My life (joys, challenges, surprises, regrets, accomplishments, and friends) since graduating from Ohio Wesleyan My first post-Army career was teaching and counseling at the University of Florida, followed by my aforementioned second career in the Tour and Travel industry. My third career has been teaching English as a Second Language both privately and at several language schools around the country. Where were you when JFK was shot? Beta House.

My life (joys, challenges, surprises, regrets, accomplishments, and friends) since graduating from Ohio Wesleyan When I retired after 20 years of teaching seventh grade language arts and social studies, I decided I wanted to try something new.

I enjoyed silversmithing, the potter's wheel, glass bead making, stone carving, drawing, oil and watercolor painting, but settled on painting with acrylics. Today, I continue to take classes and I enjoy being an artist! Where were you when JFK was shot? I was in the student lounge in Case Hall at Michigan State, glued to the television.
