Claude's Story
After some art Collage in N.Y. ...moved to Alaska..raised a family ..did the homestead thing ...built some log houses...worked the pipeline...ran some dogs...flew bush planes... drove long haul jobs .. grew huge tomatoes...danced a bit ... cried a bit ...and laughed a whole lot. All in all spending 23 years freezing half to death up there.
Escaped the Arctic finally...gave the house keys to my oldest son ... then traveled for a few years in Asia to warm up and then assorted corners of the world settling in Amsterdam. Originally just to party for a few weeks and visit family... wound up based there over 10 years. Helped raise my 3 grandsons and built a European concert keyboard/lighting/sound installation carrier and...Expand for more
a hotel and houseboat rental business with the boys.
Retired again a third time a few years ago and now teach business and Internet marketing English etc. in China.
2006 - 2009 have been teaching English for Business/Marketing and Hospitality in China at a private university....
Wow big changes recently (2008)..went to work for a primary school system..and wound up teaching 3500 kids on 3 campuses every week..."seriously NOT in the job description".
Thankfully ... was headhunted out of there by a English training program in Beijing...now back teaching at a High School in Zhengzhou for year 4 in China ... teaching some very smart nice kids...great colleagues and a sweet life again...
more as life progresses......
