My Biography

 

Here are photos from my early teaching years:

 

 

 
3I surprised myself (though not some of my high school teachers) and became a teacher. Here, in 1972, I was a second year high school teacher teaching classes of English and French to juniors and seniors. My students easily noted that I had a "metal mouth" at the time to correct an overbite. They enjoyed ribbing me.

4Part of my duties as a high school teacher was to direct the school play. Here I am in a very wide tie (and the next best thing to a leisure suit) directing students for a production of Cheaper by the Dozen.

 

 

 

 
3 After three years of teaching high school, I began work on my master's degree and started teaching reading and study skills to college students. Here I am at my first job at the now-defunct Detroit Institute of Technology.
