Something odd about a guy getting a Ph.D. at 60 and a M.Ed. at 49...
That's what I thought too. What was he doing before that? I know he was against the Vietnam War. I found an article posted on the Huffington Post written by him. But his earlier life, prior to what is covered in the bio on the Huffington Post is missing. I did find this: "Rick grew up in Chicago and is married to Ilene Abrams (Berkeley High School College Advisor) and has three children, Aisha, Sonia, and Max, and a grandchild, Eliel."
