I've been employed with AgriLife Extension for 5 years. Though I'm officed in Amarillo, my position serves the state and I travel it often.
My personal interests include reading non-fiction (especially medical history), music (I'm a card carrying member of the Guild of Carillonneurs in North America) and travel (4 continents down, 3 to go).
Robert E. (Bob) Roush, Director, TCGEC, Baylor College of Medicine
Let me be the next one to post a personal statement about my background and interests. I've been at Baylor College of Medicine for 37 years, directing the TCGEC since it's inception in 1985. I enjoy my role as a geroeducator, working with my TCGEC colleagues around the state and with our medical students and geriatrics fellows at Baylor. My other professional interests in the field of aging are in the areas of late life creativity, gerontechnology, and emergency preparedness issues for seniors during disasters.
On a personal basis, I enjoy working out, playing golf, going to movies and the theatre, reading mystery novels and biographies, and visiting with my granddaughter in California.
Theresa Smith, Assistant Professor in the School of Occupational Therapy at Texas Woman's University. I have been teaching occupational therapy for 8 years and enjoy introducing my students to the rewarding opportunities of working with older adults. I am especially concerned with facilitating participation by older adults in the areas of occupation which satisfy them.
I am an animal lover, a big reader (especially murder/mystery), and enjoy attending plays and rock concerts. I enjoy working on physical fitness through walking, yoga, and pilates.

I attended Baylor University where I received a Master of Science degree in Gerontology. Since then, I have devoted my time both professionally and personally to causes that relate to the elderly and their well being.
I am married and have two beautiful children.
Peggy Gleeson, Associate Professor and Director of Clinical Education, School of Physical Therapy. For the past 18 years, I have managed all the clinical experiences for our entry level masters and doctoral students. In our new DPT program we are trying to broaden the areas of clinical experiences for our students to include more clinical sites on the geriatric spectrum (SNF, LTAC, Home Health) as well as the typical hospital and out patient venues. I have been in clinical practice for 33 years, and the last 4 years have been in a Skilled Nursing Facility.
I am Kelley Moseley, Professor and director of the graduate program in Health Administration. I have been working in elder service issues for 25 years and teaching for over 30 years.
I currently am chair of the governing council of Care for Elders a Houston partnership of nearly 80 organizations focused on improving the quality of life of seniors in our community.
I've worked at TSU for the last 3 years and enjoy teaching and practicing pharmacy. My area of expertise is in Drug Information with a background in Industry.
In my spare time I enjoy scrapbooking and interior decorating.
