Robert's Story
Life
Life's been an interesting journey since leaving HS and Bloomington. After HS I was drafted, briefly married to my first wife, then played in rock bands and held many mundane jobs for quite a few years. I met my current wife of 30 years, Linda, playing in a bar called Jerry's in Redlands, and we moved to Riverside, then Menifee, where we raise two children; a son--27 and daughter--23. They both work and live on their own. The nest is empty, but we keep busy with work and hobbies.
School
Believe it or not--I, who hated HS--ended up going to college and becoming a teacher! But looking back, I can honestly say that way back then, I was a bit of a jerk! I didn't give kids a chance--thought most of them were "lame" goody-twoshoes types (while I just wanted to party!MJ and beer being my favorite consumption)and I considered myself too "cool" to associate with most of them. What a shame. There were a lot of nice people then,...Expand for more
and I denied myself the chance of knowing them because I had my head in a (MJ) cloud. To all of those I may have insulted or hurt: Sorry 'bout that
College
After the kids got old enough, and my wife finished getting her BS degree, I returned to school and picked up two AAs before receiving my BA in History from Cal-State University, S.B. Since then I've been a substitute teacher for the Menifee school district, and I love it!
I prefer the 2nd and 3rd graders--they're easiest to control--but have worked everything from kindergarten to 8th grade middle school! Ugh! those 6th-8th graders are a pain! [lol]
Workplace
Like I've already mentioned, I'm a substitute teacher in the Menifee school district. I would have never bet anyone, years ago, that I would have gone into teaching; but, believe it or not, it's great!
Military
I was drafted into the army in 1972, served until 1974, and that's all I'm gonna say about that!
