Ricky's Story
After graduating PHS I attended Western JC for a semester, didn't do well because I wasn't into it. Six months later on the birthday of a very dear friend (Jun 13) I joined the military (Army). I married a year later (Aug 76) a lady from Healdsburg, CA. and we had our first child, a boy in Dec 77, and our second in Oct 82, a girl. Then it was time to retire from the military. I spent 26 years in the military, retiring with the rank of CW4 and started teaching at Lane Tech College Prep H.S., Chicago, IL. Taught there for four years and earned my masters in Education Supervision/Administration. Moved to Pinon, AZ, to continue teaching on the Navajo Reservation (in the middle of nowhere). I taught another year there and then became the principal at the Pinon Accelerated Middle School for three years. I started my doctoral degree at UNLV and dropped it after earning 24hrs. And now I am finally divorced and without elaborating, Veeeeerrrr...Expand for more
rrrrry Happy. I started a new principal position in Dulce, NM, at the middle school (2011). It was the Jicarilla Apache Nation. It has really been great working with the Native American kids. I dated a 1975 Pacifica graduate but blew it. Then started dating a rebound for 4 years. I know, it wasn't easy. Returned to Tuba City, AZ to work with teachers and students. Teachers primarily to guide them with improving their classroom instruction. Then moved to Oklahoma and I am now the Principal at a Maximum & Medium Prison (Correctional Facility) with over sixteen hundred inmates. Basically, helping them get their GED's and Vocational training before release. Just finished my last year working in education after three years at the University of Detroit, five years of high school, seven years as a principal, and six years in the penal system, I have finally retired from education. Now I just do my 5k and half-marathons with traveling abroad.
