Paul's Story
Life
I remarried 9/25/04 to Class of 1973 grad Shirley Rhoads Leister. Between us we have four children: Stephanie, age 28, who is my stepdaughter but I love her as my own. Then there are my children, Christopher, age 27, Katherine, age 25, and David, age 20. We have two grandsons, Dominic, age 5, and Caleb, age 2.
All in all, my high school experience was pretty good, though I don't believe I would want to relive it, even knowing then what I know now. I was primarily known for my musical talent then. I was active in band and went on some great trips to Niagara Falls, the Indy 500, and Romania, all still being fond memories, along with the senior prom.
Favorite teachers during that time was Mrs. Onopchenko (French and Russian). She spoke just about every language there is, and the band director at that time, Nat Roof, who, unfortunately was killed in a car accident along with his wife over 20 years ago.
College
I am a 1978 graduate...Expand for more
of West Chester University with a BS in Music Education, piano major with a minor in percussion. It was at West Chester that I really began to get serious about developing as a musician. I'm a 1996 honors graduate of Immaculata University with a Master of Arts in Music Therapy and Psychology.
Workplace
I was working in the mental health field as a forensic partial hospital therapist, working with mentally ill adult male sex offenders for the past ten years but I finally burned out on that and now teach Music and Performing Arts at Wordsworth Academy in Fort Washington. I'm also an active freelance musician mainly on keys, and occasionally drums and percussion. I have worked with many famous and talented people from the realm of music and show business. I have also appeared on CDs with noted Philadelphia-based jazz artists, and am a church organist at Bridgeport Presbyterian Church.
That's my story right now and I'm sticking to it!
