I was raised in Swarthmore, PA home of Swarthmore College where my father, Frank Sr. was a professor of economics. My mother, Rita, taught at Horace Mann near where she grew up in Manhattan before marriage. Brother John and I attended the School in Rose Valley, a small private grade school before moving over to Swarthmore High School.
I left Swarthmore for good to attend Earlham College in Richmond, Indiana then on to the University of Chicago Divinity School in a PhD program (never completed).
My professional career with the Industrial Areas Foundation (IAF) began in Chicago in early 1971 with the Campaign Against Pollution. That's where Kaz and I met. After that we headed west to establish a permanent residence in Oracle, AZ.
I reconnected with IAF in 1989 to build Pima County Interfaith Council in Tucson, AZ and the emergent statewide Arizona Interfaith Network (Arizona IAF). Then on to Albuquergue, Las Vegas and Denver, along with supervisory and national training responsibilities. All told I put in 23 more post-Chicago years in the trenches of community organizing.
These days I'm living in and writing in and about Oracle.
