After majoring in French and Spanish at DePauw University and achieving fluency in French a Middlebury College, he taught high school language courses until the outbreak of World War ll. Upon Graduation from the Navy's Japanese Language School in 1944, he served as a junior officer in the Pacific theater. At war's end he was assigned to the U.S. Naval Academy, to teach foreign languages to the midshipmen; soon thereafter he converted to civilian faculty status and made teaching at Annapolis his career, adding a Middlebury M.A. degree in Russian to his qualifications. Since his retirement in 1976 he has been active in literary translation-mostly poetry-from French to English.
