Rich Gair

Longwood, Florida

Professor of Holocaust Studies

In the desert on my way to the Dead Sea for the weekend. During the week I was a volunteer for the IDF at an Army base near Be'er Sheva in the Negev Desert. I just love driving around this country and an Israel GPS makes me sure where I am. I am short, overwieight, ugly and have a bald spot that gets bigger as the years pass. I love being a college Professor and cannot think of anything in the world I would rather be doing every day. Someday I would like to retire and maybe make Aliya to Israel which has become very dear to my heart with every visit I make there. In the meanwhile I must be content with traveling there as often as I can afford.
