Delanco, NJ 08075 CONTACT 215 204-5559 frank.friedman@temple.edu PROFESSIONAL LIFE Retired after almost 40 years as a member of the faculty,department of computer and information Sciences at Temple University in Philadelphia. I wrote numerous papers and (with a Temple colleague) six in- troductory computer programming textbooks. Chaired the department for 13 years. Ran several major ed- ucational computer science con- ferences and served on the govern- ing board and conferences board of the Association for Computing Machinery for several years. PERSONAL LIFE Two daughters, Dara and Shelley, and two grandchildren, Sam (7) and Lia (4), all living in the Baltimore- Washington area. Sports and music hobbies—mostly now as a watcher and listener. Still gardening and walking. Still teaching as an adjunct at Temple. Volunteer work at the Mann Center for the PerformingArts in Philadelphia. VICTORIES FOR HUMANITY I taught thousands of students,many of them first in their families to go to college, and watched many of them go on to successful lives and careers in the Delaware Valley and across the country. None of the teaching, research and writing I have done could have been possible without Antioch and the co-op experience. My interest in social activism (such as it was) would have never come to pass had I not attended Antioch.Antioch taught me to read and think criti- cally, to write, to get involved and to help and have compassion for the less fortunate. It provided an indispensable educational and pro- fessional development cradle from which all else followed. At Camden Yards in Baltimore, Oct. 3, 2014: Orioles win second game of ALDS 7–6 vs. Tigers. At the Smithsonian (probably 20 years ago) with the first computer I ever programmed (early ’60s), the Bendix G-15 computer. Teaching at Temple around 2006.
