Beyond the Horizon

BRUCE CONROE is a retired educator as a teacher, counselor, and administrator at public schools and colleges. He is now Vice Provost Emeritus of State University College at Potsdam. He lives in Saratoga Springs, NY, and keeps busy with family activities, traveling, and writing.



Dr. Conroe was born and raised in New York, growing up in the suburbs of Albany, the youngest of three children. He attended Alfred University in Alfred, NY earning a Bachelor's Degree in mathematics and after marrying his best friend since kindergarten a Master's Degree in Education. Several years and Bruce's Four children later, he earned his Doctor of Education at the State of New York University at Albany. His career was interrupted by the US Army draft for two years during the Cold War as described in my earlier book. He and his wife Barbara took over fifty trips both in and out of the US. The urge to share our experiences led to my writing "Beyond the Horizon." about the foreign trips and our life in the Army and what was then West Germany.
