Started teaching at FHS in September 1984- Taught at Fort Miller before that for 6 years and started teaching at Tehipite Middle School the year it opened and was there for 4 years. I have a small pontoon boat that I like to go out on and enjoy the quiet and calm of nature.  In the winter, you can find me on Millerton Lake looking for the eagles that winter there.  In the summer, you can find me up at Shaver Lake just cruising around the lake and sometimes with a fishing line in the water.  Hardly ever catch fish, but that is my secondary motive of being in the lakes.   I have recently lost my 12 and 14-year-old Golden Retrievers and miss them terribly.  I have my Dad's 10-year-old Yorkshire Terrier at this time.  As you might tell I am an avid animal lover.  When I retire I am quite sure I will be involved with animal care in some capacity, maybe with volunteering at the zoo or just taking care of what ever pets I might have at the time.  No doubt, there will be two more Golden in my future. Probably the second year I was here when I was the advisor in Yearbook.  I did it for 5 or 6 years and that was when computers were just starting to be used to produce the yearbook.  We always had small classes, but dedicated close-knit kids.  It was very, very stressful but also very rewarding, I don't think I would do it again at this point in time.  Very different kids now, and I don't think I have the patience anymore, but I have good memories. | Homepage |
