Steven Carter and his wife Jill live in Los Angeles, where Steven serves as the dean of administration and student affairs at Yo San U., a graduate school offering the specializeddegree of MATCM (Master of Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine)....One of his favorite moments was "bumping into" Cornell professor Miriam Taietz and her husband Phil in a small inn outside Nairobi. Miriam was one of Steven's favorite instructors at Cornell, and it was pretty special having the opportunity to stroll with them through the suburbs of Nairobi.
