WHO IS DENNIS TURNER? Dennis Turner graduated from Georgetown University in 1967 with a degree in History. He received his Juris Doctorate degree from Georgetown University Law School in 1970. He has served as an Assistant County Prosecutor and as a Magistrate-Judge. Since 1974, he has been a Professor of Law at the University Of Dayton School Of Law. During his tenure at the University of Dayton he has served as Assistant Dean, Acting Dean, Director of the Law Clinic and Director of the Legal Profession Program. The University of Dayton has awarded him its highest award for teaching, The Faculty Teaching Award. He has also received numerous Teacher of the Year Awards from the students at the University Of Dayton School Of Law and was chosen to be one of the Master Teaching Fellows for the University. He has been a visiting professor for the University of Notre Dame London Law Program. He also has extensive experience with the British criminal justice system through his association with a barrister firm in Winchester, England. Dennis turner is the author of many law review articles and a law textbook, "Steele v. Kitchener Case File". For two years, he also wrote a bi-weekly column for the Dayton Daily News entitled, “On the River.” His latest publication is a book of historical fiction entitled, "What Did You do in the War, Sister?" which told the story of how Catholic nuns in Belgium defied and deceived the Nazis in World War II. Dennis Turner lives in Dayton, Ohio, with his wife Kathleen. They have been married over 48 years which suggests that their original blind-date to the Trinity College Junior Prom in Washington D.C. was a success. They have three children, Sonya, Michael and Caroline; and three grandsons, Lucas, Max and Ronan. Dennis became an avid sailor at the age of twelve in a land-locked Ohio county as a result of reading a book that changed his life, and the lives of his family. The book was by a British author titled "We Didn’t Mean to Go to Sea". It described the sailing adventures of four kids about Dennis’ age. After reading the book twice, Dennis just knew he had to have a sailboat even though there was not a lot of water around Dayton suitable for sailing. He built his first sailboat which was actually a raft with a muslin sail. At least it floated. If clipper ships had still been crisscrossing the oceans, Dennis might have signed on as a member of the crew. Lessons for life learned from sailing. Enjoy the journey. Destinations often prove disappointing. The pessimist complains about the wind. The optimist expects it to change. The realist adjusts the sails.
