Paul's Story
Worked 4 years in telecommunications in LA, then 40 years in Alaska telecommunications, 30 of them in various aspects of engineering; now retired in Anchorage. Other students used to call me "General-Bell" due to my fascination with the payphones. I don't need to list the tricks I was able to come up with but the knowledge I gained along with my dedication to the subject matter served me well in my future career.
A transition to coed classes was taking place at the time (1970, my only year at BAHS) but, as things worked out, my lot fell to enrollment in all segregated classes for the entire year.
Teachers I remember are (some spelling or o...Expand for more
ther details are fuzzy now):
Fr. Paul Waldie - Religion / Psychology (became very emotional when saying Mass)
Mr. Hiethaus - Civics (regularly late for his first morning class - Fr. Billman would come by to hold down the class 'til he arrived)
Mr. Carlin - Economics (had a baby and almost made him a believer)
Tom McClanahan - English and much loved I think (now deceased)
Mr. Tibbs - Drafting and Accounting
Mr. Smith - Algebra II (was married to an Alemany female teacher the first part of the term but divorced within a month - sad story)
Married, no kids.
