Gary's Story
First, send me an email and I will gladly get back in touch with you. Also, you can find me on Facebook (Free is usually a good thing with me)
After graduating from Sammamish I headed off to WSU. My folks pulled the plug on Wazzu gig after realizing that I wasn't putting forth much effort for their dollars my freshman year in Pullman. I spent the next year living on Camano Island, got my act together, and received an AA from Skagit Valley College. The next two years were spent at Central Washington State College where I roomed with Mark Rosin and Keith Johnson, fellow 1972 Sammamish graduates. Insanely, all three of us got our degrees in education from Central. Mark made it to Longview and Keith to Granite Falls.
My teaching career has found me only at the elementary level. In my 32+ years of teaching I have worked in only the Clarkston, WA (2 years) and Kent, WA (30+ years) school districts. I love what I do. Yes, vacations are nice! Currently I am an instructional technology specialist assisting my staff integrate technology into their curriculum. In the evenings I a...Expand for more
m a staff development instructor teaching tech classes for both classified and certificated staff. The "new toy" in the district is the SMART Board, and I am a trainer for this technology.
The third time is the charm for me in being married. My first wife and I divorced. By that marriage I had two kids; Connor and Lindsey (Good kids! Finally figured out that Pops had smarts after all). My second wife passed away after a long battle with cancer. I have been married to my third wife, Ann, since 2000. She is the real deal, and definitely not beyond reminding me of the fact on a regular basis!
Ann and I are both teachers. We are ever so fortunate to have the same vacations even though teaching in different school districts. We love boating and we find ourselves floating on Lake Washington a lot during the summer months. We are content to picnic and read out on the lake. Saves gas! LOL.
Our lives are totally controlled by our mischievous Shih Tzu, Miss Molly. We are both very fortunate that both sets of parents are still living. In fact, both live nearby.
Life is good.
