Donney (Don)'s Story
After 28 years of Federal service (21 years in Federal Law Enforcement), I retired on January 3, 2008 (CSRS-LE).
In 2010, I was given a dual appointment as an Associate Professor in Criminal Justice and Education. The only class I taught in education was a course I developed and got approved by the State Education Dept. in Tennessee. The course was "multicultural education" for 4th year students. I completed this gig in 2015 and then worked as a Certified PREA Auditor for a period of three years.
Along the way, I worked with others to establish a new business corporation. These two businesses were converted to non-profits after COVID-19, which was harsh with many businesses, big and small.
My wife and I went to Hawaii a couple of times and a few other places in the U.S. that we desired to see. Traveling is getting rough for both of us.

ere have been no foreign travels.
My residence has been in SE Tennessee, although when I worked away from home I had a "work residence." It was always nice to return to my home.
Some personal pursuits include writing, and getting my work published. :-) Sometimes, these are 2 quite different tasks, that is, writing and getting published. A few of my manuscripts have been prepared within the past year..., but there is a lot more work to be done.
By the way, I looked for a photo of me from the period in 1972. I recall seeing it somewhere, but I think I put it in a safe place. LOL. I assure the reader that I have changed a great deal. I used to wear glasses in 1971-72. Subsequently, I discovered contact lenses. In 2011, I had cataract surgery. Now, I do not wear glasses, contacts, or anything else
