Dan's Story
Life
Hi everyone,
I am in Tuscaloosa, where I came to go to school at UA in '67 and never left. After school, I worked in newspapers for several years and then went into public relations and advertising.
At the end of 2005, I retired from 24 years with Gulf States Paper Corporation, where I was Director of Government & Community Relations.
In late 2001, I ended a 29-1/2 year run as a part-time teacher in the Journalism Department at UA. That night job had to come to an end when I was elected to the Tuscaloosa City Board of Education and took office in October 2001. There's a limit on how many "extra" t...Expand for more
hings one can do, so something had to give.
I served on the school board for 12 years - 4 as a district member and 8 years as chair until I chose not to run again in the 2013 election.
In 2007, after being retired from Gulf States, I went back to the U of A where I am currently teaching in the Journalism Department and coordinating the internships. I also run a promotional products company selling custom printed promo items to businesses around Tuscaloosa.
I'd love to hear from former classmates and friends (I'm not using the word "old" for our class yet.)
Hope to hear from some of you folks soon.
