Patrick's Story
I was an Industrial Arts Instructor at Ferris H.S. (what a traitor) for 18 yrs. For 10 of those years I was the I.A.Dept co-ordinator. I left Ferris in 1982 and took a position down the shore at Lacey Twp. H.S. We developed an Alternative School which included training in the construction trades, I was the instructor/director of the program. The program began in '85 and I retired in '95. I spent 13 yrs. at Lacey. I had a grand total of 31 years in education.
I decided to drive a school bus on Long Beach Island( could not keep away from Schools). ...Expand for more
I did that for 8 yrs. I said enough is enough and retired from that. I had 3 children ( 2 girls 1 boy) 3 grand kids. We will be married 43 yrs this June. We remain at the shore and love this area. We are in a retirement community and about 90% of the residents are from Jersey City or Hudson County.
So I have gone full circle. Started life in JC and with many familiar faces at the Jersey Shore. Not a bad career for a screw up. Update: sad to report that my wife of 45 years passed on April 18th, 2010. Quite a shock, but I am learning to go it alone.
