Karl's Story
Life
Since the "Good ol' Days" at Pershing a few years have passed (as we all know). Ten of those were spent at Wayne State getting a Masters Degree in Education after which I taught middle school for 34 years, married in '66, divorced in '78, lived together 'till '98 and decided to "tie the knot" again to another teacher (Laura Lafer).

He lives in the U.P. and works part time for Gander Mountain in Marquette.
