Duane's Story
Life
WOW...lots of great adventure since I graduated from Biola University (Los Angeles) in 1974 w/ a B.A. in Secondary Education (Social Science). I immediately moved to Alaska to teach at a non-denominational boarding high school for Alaska native students.
I fell in love with the Arctic from the get-go. I also became very intrigued with indigenous cultures of the north, so much so that I moved out to rural Alaska to live/teach among the Yup'ik (Eskimo) people.
From 1981 to 2003 I worked for the Lower Kuskokwim School District (LKSD), first teaching in small Yup'ik (Eskimo) villages and then at district headquarters...Expand for more
as an Education Specialist. In 1996 I earned my M.A. in Bilingual/Multicultural Education.
I took "early retirement" in 2003 to indulge in my passion for international travel and language learning. That's one of the reasons that I moved to Germany in 2004 where I enrolled in a German language institute for 7 months.
I returned to the classroom as an ESL teacher in August 2007. I am finishing my two-year contract in May 2009. I'll re-retire briefly, but hopefully I'll find something else to keep me busy..
I'm on Facebook and also have a You Tube account, just in case you want to learn more.
