His particular concern over southern California's air quality led to his involvement in regional and national governing and advisory boards, as well as memberships in scientific and technical organizations.

Founded in 1832, Gettysburg College is a highly selective four-year residential college of liberal arts and sciences with a strong academic tradition that includes Rhodes Scholars, a Nobel laureate and other distinguished scholars among its alumni.
