I moved to the Jeffersonville area in '71 to continue teaching. I became Head Teacher for 3 years in a special need school. Then I started a new pre-vocational program for the special needs students, and it continues today. I left the program after 2 years to return to my real love of teaching. I went to Charlestown, Indiana to teach at the high school in 1976 until I retired this year. I was the department head for the special needs students during that time. I also taught chemistry, biology, U. S. History, and beginning algebra in regular classes at navious times in my career.

My wife and I have 2 street-rods and a muscle-car. I do wood working (building furniture and carving sculptures).
I'm looking forward to the reunion. The reunion conflicts with the Street Rod Nationals in Louisville. We are going to be at both functions. But we have the cars to allow us to move Swiftly.
Moving to Englwood FL after the reunion. We lived there last summer and last winter. 6 minutes from the beaches, 20 by boat.
