As a member of the Purdue Glee Club, he participated in The New Moon and The Desert Song, by Romberg. On stage, he met Edith Jane Gerkin, forming a team that has survived and thrived for more than six decades. After a stop in Pittsburgh, Dr. Bauman accepted a faculty position at the Polytechnic Institute of Brooklyn. He served as president of the school board of Bethpage, on Long Island and spent one summer as a member of the technical staff of the Bell Laboratories. In 1967 he accepted an invitation to start a new department of physics at the University of Alabama at Birmingham, instituting programs offering the B.S., M.S., and PhD. He was elected president of the American Association of Physics Teachers and published books on absorption spectroscopy, thermodynamics, and physical science, while Edith served as president of Faculty Women, as well as the local opera group, church groups at national and local levels, and the National Society of Arts and Letters. Both remained active in local theater and choral groups. Their four children grew up hearing many of the poems contained here, and have since lived in Pennsylvania, Indiana, Colorado, New Mexico, Taiwan, and Washington State, raising seven happy grandchildren.visualizza meno
