Arnold Wilson:  

Life: No, I didn't graduate in 1960; I got kicked out in Spring '59 with 20 other students for after-game action. I sold Bibles door to door and worked in Manhattan for a short time for a PR company (Dick Richards and Clyde Jorgensen were at Columbia Univ). I tried to return to EHS in Fall of`61. That lasted 3 mos. I was already too worldly for high school. After drilling for oil in WY, and the Navy (62-65) I went to U of Texas, then U of Cincinnati where I taught philosophy for 30 yrs. Married several times. I've retired to do more writing and professional activities and hobbies. I'd like to hear from others. (Moved from Cincinnati to Menlo Park, CA, 2007. Anyone hereabouts?) In Englewood I went to Scenic View Elementary (now an industrial area). Memorable teachers were Bishop, Rudy, and Fernandez. At Flood JH, I was friends with Art Allen and Jerry Heydon, and remember Mrs Woods and Mr Palmeri. The wrestling coach advertised his Corvette for sale as "Raced only on Sundays by little old school teacher." I was in love with Norma Cole and Sandy Newman. Mrs Flood was the Principal, at a school named for her. Imagine not big on compassion. AT EHS my favorite teachers were Jackie Hall Ms Schall, and Gordon Flieger, science teacher/wrestling coach. As a science project, I attached a cord to 2 carbon rods, plugged it in the wall -- instant flash of a blinding arc light and the fuses in the building went out. Lots of lovely memorie...Expand for more
