Dr. Netherton teaches Comp I, Comp II, Masterworks of British Lit I, and Non-Western Lit. He has taught at AC since 1986. He wrote his Masters thesis on the poetry of T.S. Eliot and his dissertation on a relatively unknown 14th-Century English mystic named Richard Rolle. Netherton has served on several committees on campus, including the Commencement Committee, Academic Affairs, and the Faculty Senate. In the past, he sponsored the AC Film Club and the AC Anime Club. He currently is a co-sponsor of the English Honor Society, Sigma Kappa Delta. He likes music, remodeling his old house, visiting his three children, chilling and playing with his dog Buster and the cat Maddie, and spending time with his wife and best friend Margie. He does not like bureaucracy and BS. (This photo of Dr. Netherton was taken in 1975, when he was a freshman at Amarillo College.)
