This "Retirement Activities" secton of my Moravian College website is limited to only my activities subsequent to my retirement; to see the whole website, which also includes this section, go to the following URL: http://home.moravian.edu/users/phys/mejjg01
I retired from the Moravian College Physics and Earth Science Department in 2009. That summer we purchased a home in Gold Canyon, AZ, but we kept our home in Bethlehem, PA, for another three years and travelled back and forth with the changing seasons, spending winters in AZ and summers in PA. We sold the Betlehem home in 2012 and since then have resided only in AZ year-round, ending the three year period when we were "snowbirds."
The exception (*) referenced in the previous paragraph concerns my involvement with the production and promotion of my wife's book, Santa's Sugar, which she published in 2012 and which subsequently has won ten awards. She has since turned the story into a play and has made the story and its illustrations available as a free slide-show in a PDF download. I created the supporting website, SantasSugar.com, and did some of the behind-the-scenes technical work, but the literary accomplishments are all hers. The book and the play manuscript are both available from Kindle Direct Publishing at Amazon.com.
The previous sections of my Moravian College website are historic in the sense that they represent the faculty, facilities, and programs as they were in the last year of my employment at the College in 2009. For those pages, I don't make any editorial changes except for the occasional correction of an overlooked error or a misspelling. However, the Retirement section of the website is more current and fluid, so check back to this section often. Joe Gerencher
