Life
I retired from education (36 years as an educator) in June '10. I've been a high school English teacher, journalism teacher, and after earning a master's degree at the University of South Florida in Tampa, have been a high school media specialist at Citrus HS (Yes, my school really is CITRUS HIGH!) in Inverness, FL for a number of years.

My memories of high school and college are rich and wonderful. I attribute those great school experiences with the reason that I enjoyed my job so much. Kids change a bit in every generation, yet their needs (to be heard, to be respected) are no different from ours in the 60's and 70's! I welcome inquiries from anyone from those times from school!
