Tim's Story
Life
Yo, this is me known to you as Tim. I am also known as frogboy and Edmund these days. Google frogboy poetry, to read some of my selected poems. Google theater4 for my newest endeavor, touring plays to schools. I am also timATtheater4dotcom (nudge, nudge, wink, wink!)
That new Now photo is me playing Scrooge in A Christmas Carol.
Life is good. Divorced for over 30 yrs. now, I have a wonderful daughter and two beautiful grand kids. Spend my time mostly with my favorite artistic pursuits, theatre and music. Was an internet programmer/developer for a number of years, tapering off on that now. Living here in N. California suits me, mild weather and people. I do a lot of acting and directing. Sell some guitars on ebay. Hope your life has been as interesting as mine. Have been a photographer, photo lab manager, computer programmer, preschool teacher, poet, special ed teacher, technical writer to name a few. Cheers!

School
I was a few days away from graduat...Expand for more
ing high school when an incident occurred that sort of crystallized my whole experience of the public education system. This was a time of much protest against any and all authority and the war in Viet Nam most especially. I was aware that some friends of mine were going to pass out leaflets that day in front of the school after classes were dismissed for the day. (Said leaflets, by the by, were printed by the government explaining the various draft classifications, and available in any draft board office. Hardly inflammatory or radical.)
For one reason or another I was slow in leaving that afternoon, and as I exited through the front door I encountered a friend stumbling up the walk toward the building, a bit bloodied, definitely dazed, clutching the remains of his broken glasses in his hand. As he handed out the leaflets he had been assaulted by several of the right wing jocks who pummeled him while being egged on from a classroom window by some members of the faculty .
I helped him back into the building to get cleaned up and composed. In the hallway we were accosted by the principal and a math teacher who was known by my experience to waste class time proselytizing on the righteousness of murdering women and children with napalm. These gentlemen(?) assailed us with such witticisms as "Guess they showed you!" and "Serves you right for handing out that pinko literature." In response, I said to the principal, "I think that if Mr..------- has the right to spout his war mongering, racist propaganda in his math classes, then J----- certainly has the right to stand on the public sidewalk and hand out legal leaflets."
Suddenly, I found myself grabbed by the front of my shirt and slammed up against the wall of lockers behind me by the principal who bellowed into my face, "You think? You think! And who gave you permission to think?"
Who gave me permission to think, indeed. Obviously, NOT the public school system.
