The First Ten Years of The A & P Professor!
On July 4, 2008, I published the first post on this blog —thereby launchingThe A&P Professor. I picked July 4 —U.S. Independence Day—as my start date so that it would be easy for me to remember.

Having had a wonderful mentor in my early years of teaching of A&P (thank you, Sr. Virginia), and scores of colleagues sharing their A&...
