@engineer,
I suppose it's possible. I need to check with mr. glitterbag, but I'm pretty sure he was strictly English lit. I don't know if he taught Sci Fi, but since we live in Maryland and he lived in LA, perhaps I've forgotten something, we lost him on Nov 27th 1987. It was a difficult time for us, he was only 49. But I remember he had keen interest in everything, music, film, opera, fine dining, social events, international happenings, he was like a party in a bottle.
He was born in Johnston County, N.C., his grandfather and father had been tobacco and cotten farmers, and he decided that he wouldn't pick cotton, or cure tobacco. He left home to attend Eastern Carolina and thought he wanted to become a dentist, but the English Department became his muse and when he discovered Milton, it was all over but the shouting. My husband was 17 and Professor Glitterbag was 26 when their Dad died in Raleigh, N.C., and he became the father figure for my husband. It was his older brother who suggested my husband study Russian Lit, History, and Language. I'll send you a PM and see if his name strikes a bell. It's a funny thing, that even though our loved ones are gone, they still influence our lives. Those of us who are left still miss him dearly.
