Carl's Story
Life
A special message to the graduating class of 1962-
As a teacher and class adivsor to the sophomore class in the first year
of existence of Indio High School in !959-1960 I didn't realize what a special
group of young people I was working with until years later. When you graduated in 1962 I left to teach in Germany as some of you will remember.
As I look back on 27 years of teaching I realize that you are responsible
for the inspiration that kept me in teaching all these years. I have never
experienced a graduating group of students so dear to my heart since and
I want to thank you for that special feeling I have. As you probably know
teaching is a tough profession today yet I have such warm memories of
our 3 years together as teacher and students.

I was 15 minutes away from it. Those were exciting times and the students
at Tam were great. But I always referred back to Indio High School to get

I became a burn out teacher and left teaching in 1980 to pursue a lifelong
dream of building houses. I chose Lake Tahoe and build many custom homes
for the next 15 years at the lake and in Truckee (and of course skiing).
Shoveling snow finally got to me and it was off to Oregon and retirement.
Retirement was too boring for me so I accepted a teaching job in California
at a small school on the Big Sur coast 45 minutes south of Monterey.
The smallness of the school reminds me of all the great moments I had
teaching math at Indio High even though it's 43 years later!
I do remember most of you including the classes of 1963 and 1964.
You can make my day by e-mailing me when you find the time!!!
You are always in my fond thoughts!
