Dave's Story
I retired from the public school system after 30 years of service. Having worked for 4 years for Kent Schools, 3 years for South Kitsap, 2 years for Spokane Schools and the last 21 years in the Othello School system I was ready to retire in 2003 and did so happily! I was fortunate to have taught elementary school P.E., 2nd and 3rd grade classroom, Served as an Elementary School Principal, Jr. High/ High School Summer School Principal, Jr. High/ High School Swim team coach, High School Tennis team coach, and worked as Director of Community Schools and City Recreation. I am currently enjoying supervising an occasional WSU Student Teacher at school districts in our area.
In retirement, I am really even busier(if that's possible) than when I was working in schools. I use keep a daily schedule of an energetic combination of racketball, mountain biking, road biking, swimming laps, weight lifting, cardio machine workouts, pickle ball and w...Expand for more
alking our two Toy Fox Terriers(TFTs). However, two years ago I was lucky to survive an emergency event caused by an Abdominal Aortic Anuerysm(AAA). The original fix for the condition which is called an Endovascular Stent Graft did not work for me. So, just last month I had to have it taken out (explant) and have an Open or Traditional surgical repair of my AAA. I am currently recovering and am anxious to begin physical therapy and swimming laps in our new above ground lap pool just installed last year.
I am fortunate to have been married to my fantastic wife Peggy for 30 years and we have 2 great children with very nice spouses. No grand children yet, but we're not pushing(too much)! Our dogs (TFTs) serve as our Grand Dogs!
I served on the KM 40 year reunion planning two years ago and hope to organize some sort of Panther Lake Elementary get together sometime in the future.
