School
I'm making this bio suitable for my North Olmsted Ohio Class of 1967 and Westminster College Class of 1971. The b&w photo is my high school photo. Color photo is from a few years later! Around 1989. Close enough! After graduating from WC with BA Eng Lit, I immediately became dishwasher in a truck stop (PorterÂs Diner close to New Wilmington, PA.) Back in Cleve, Became Grammatical Editor at Union Gospel Press. Then writer-editor at Modern Curriculum Press in Strongsville. Wrote lots of primary school books. Then was Ad writer at Leo Burdett in Chicago, working on Cheer Detergent ads. Then back to Cleve as ÂMedia Relations Director at WVIZ-TV, PBS on Brookpark Rd. Then became Nightwatchman then Elephant Keeper at Cleveland Zoo for many years! Meanwhile, I freelance wrote and penciled hundreds of Ziggy comic strips.

moved to Knoxville, TN in 1984. In Knoxville, TN (where I am now) I was post supervisor of TNN Show RollerJam. (I am not making any of this up.) Now I am a freelance writer and producer. I miss all you guys. At NOHS teachers I learned something from accidentally IÂm sure were Mr. Clark, Frick, Miss Yucich (sp, later married Mr. Frick), Miss Anthony (married Mr. Price, Mr. Price, Mrs. Felmer, Mrs. Feltham, Miss Wise, Mr. Cosgrove, Mrs. Westermann, Mr. Peepers (from whom I learned more than anyone else, I swear), etc. etc. ItÂs funny how it still seems proper to call them ÂMr. or ÂMrs. At Westminster I learned something I'm sure from Chris Brown who sang "Show Me!" to tell us how to write creative lit. Also Dr. Cook, Dr. Horn, Dr. Bleasby, Dr. Hild, Dr. Bothell (sp) in Eng and Art Dept., etc. My dorm Frosh Year was Jeffers, where 3/4s of the guys didn't make it to sophomore year. Hope you are all well. They don't make 'em like you guys anymore! Best regards, Adam
College
I posted a bunch of photos of some of the guys in Jeffers Hall in 1967 but they seem to have been confiscated! If you want you can write me at Whatsupyinz321 at the place where the cow boys yell. They don't make 'em like you guys 'n gals anymore! Best regards, Adam
