RICHARD FRY

ASSOCIATE PROFESSOR   UNIVERSITY OF MARYLAND

Hello! I'll keep this brief under the belief that if you know me you'll know this, and if you don't know me you won't want to read five pages of fine detail:) I was born in Taunton, England. I make this distinction as  I have discovered another Taunton in Massachusetts. My Taunton is famous for Cider and Cricket (and more often than not a combination of the two). My old school as you can see is something out of a Dickensian novel.                                  

                                      After 11 years of Public school indoctrination (if you are American please read Private) I headed up north to Stirling. A truly beautiful campus on the foothills of the highlands, it originally came to fame when someone threw an egg at the Queen
From there I moved down south to London and did my post graduate studies at the Royal Veterinary College. In 1991 I joined UMUC and have been driving ever since. I have made my home near the beautiful city of Bamberg. I live with my girlfriend (Iris) and our dog (Einstein) in this beautiful old house (c1740) which in about 25 years we may have paid for.                              
                                      
On the odd moment I am not teaching/driving I play the drums with a jazz trio called "Whine for Table seven".   I wanted to put some music here but for copyright reasons I was warned against it. I've only been to the US once and that was paid for by the Army (thank you, thank you, thank you) when I played in Washington DC for the final of the 2000 Battle of the Bands (we came 3rd). The only thing missing from this is a photo; cameras hate me. If I find anything close to publishable I'll put it up; promise. If you would like to get in touch then please email me, bye for now.
