Dr. John D. Buenker

Professor Emeritus

Since retirement in 2003, I have kept busy by being on the board of the Friends of the UWP Library and on the editorial boards of America: History and Life and the Journal of Illinois History. I am also an active member of Adventures in Lifelong Learning and volunteer at the Racine Heritage Museum.  I have recently published articles in the Dictionary of Literary Biography, Iowa Biographical Dictionary, World Book Encyclopedia, and the Yale Biographical Dictionary of American Law. My latest publication is “Cream City Politics: A Play in Four Acts,” an essay in Perspectives on Milwaukee’s Past.
