Richard's Story
Life
I taught in Markham fom 1963 until 1975. My first year and a half were in Markham Park and my principal was Newton Fink. Yes the teachers also thought it was a funny name, but he and I were good friends.
I moved to Canterbury Junior High in 1966 or 67 and was there until 1975. what I remember most was after lunch time when we either played dodge ball or soft
ball depending on the weather. I and other teachers also participated in the activities. Sometimes it was hard to tell the difference between us and the students. I thought we had great times. I also...Expand for more
directed some school plays which I always enjoyed. I recently returned to what is now Prairie Hills, but they couldn't fool me it was still Canterbury.
In 1975 I left Markham for Elmhurst. A former principal of Canterbury, Mr. Landstrom, was principal in Churchville Junior high in Elmhurst and offered me a job. I taught at Churville until I retired in 2002. Even though I taught in Markham for a shorter period of time I have fond memories because it was the beginning of my career. I still see Mr. Davidson, and Mr. Huizinga from Canterbury.
