Thank you so much. I really appreciate the help. I have a hard time thinking things out lately and I couldn't find anything. :)
I tried locating a couple of these articles online, and it worked. I highlighted a big chunk of the name of an article, and then copied and pasted it into a search box, and the link to the article in question popped right up. Some of them may be behind a paywall, but the ones I tried at random are freely available.
Here's a list of articles from the website where he teaches/works in North Carolina. You might be able to search for keywords in a title and find the article in an accessible place.
