And his behind-the-scenes role at the College permits him the time to travel--though still with Harvard.
When he retired last spring, he and his wife took a "grand tour" of Europe to cities of the Italian Renaisance on a trip sponsored by the Harvard Alumni Association.
Epps says the group listened to lectures about the sites they were seeing and dressed for dinner to dine together.
"Then you put on your shorts and go trekking after a guide," he says.
Epps says he also plans to uphold the family tradition of visiting Bath, England this summer, his wife's native land.
"I could put up with anything during the school year, for I know two things," he says. "First that I will be in Bath [in the summer], and second, that I'll be sitting by the Royal Pavillion in Bath, and a Let's Go writer for the Harvard Student Agencies will come by. We always ran into each other."
At Harvard, Epps says he is joining the ranks of what he calls the "shadow cabinet" of former big-time players in the College administration who, upon retirement, play a more muted role at Harvard.
