Craig's Story
I taught world history and P.E. and coached varsity football and track at John Glenn for 5 great years, 1963-1968. 1963 was the second year JG was opened and we had freshman, sophomores and juniors. Dick James was the principal, Keith West and Bonnie Bowman were the VP's. The class of '65 were our first graduates. For sports teams, JG was a member of the Inland League which included several new high schools.
I really enjoyed the youngsters and staff that I worked with. It was very tough to leave JG, especially the young men that I had the privilege of coaching. In '68 our young family moved to ...Expand for more
Boulder Creek in northern Calif. where I had the opportunity to be an elementary school principal for the next 25 years.
Now long-retired, I often think about the students I taught at Glenn. They were wonderful young people. I stumbled upon this website and thought perhaps I might touch bases with some of my former students/athletes. I'd enjoy knowing how you're all doing.(Do any of my history students remember "Joe Bananas?")
Incidentally, I remain in touch with my former coaching colleague, Art Jessup who now lives in Cambria. (1/04/12 Coach Jessup recently moved to Mission Viejo).
