Being a dedicated civil servant, Dr. Gould worked as a Research Psychologist for the Air Force for well over 30 years. During his distinguished career, he was recognized as The Civilian of the Year by the Air Force. He was always approachable and took great pride in mentoring other employees. These skills served him well when he taught graduate courses in Psychology at St. Mary’s University. In his spare time, Bruce enjoyed playing golf and tennis. He often worked in the yard, repaired the family automobiles when they broke down and even built a significant addition to one of his homes.
