Dean,

No Robert did not teach at Berkeley.  He was the conductor of the Glee Club and 
Treble Clef Society choirs many years ago, both non-faculty, student 
association positions, and it was the fact that he was never hired by the music 
department that eventually lead to his taking the job as the music critic for 
the Chronicle.  This is old family history, and I'm not sure I remember many of 
the details, but that's the gist of it.

Chuck
