Status and advice

As reviewing administrator, I did not delete the article. It does meet our requires for notability because of the named professorship. But Wikipedia strongly discourages autobiographies (see [[W{AUTOBIO]], because of the difficulty people have presenting their own career, according to WP:NPOV.

Since I am especially interested here in academic biographies, I made the necessary changes to remove overemphasis and minor material. But the material does need to be cited. Your official CV will do for what it reports of the professional career, but the High School and College sports activities and the team physician positions should be sourced to appropriate source,-- newspapers are the usual sources for these.
