A Few Biographical Notes. I attended an all-boys Jesuit high school in Cleveland (St. Ignatius) and a Jesuit university in Chicago (Loyola) spending the third year at a special campus in Rome, Italy. I can thank the Jesuits also (one red-haired Jesuit brother who taught high school English in particular) for my interest in language. I studied five years of Latin. I was terribly interested in the sciences too but did poorly. Author's Photo: Sandra Russell.
