a few of many pursuits that insatiable curiosity led the author to

as a child, through an unhappy childhood, leading to dropping out

of high school. He found success in the military and after honorable

discharge, returned to school become an educator earning BA, MEd,

With wisps of humor throughout, he describes

one of his special needs students with a very loud

voice. “If she had hooked up with Joshua outside

the walls of Jericho he would not have needed

any trumpets!”

He received a Fulbright appointment to England,

and was presented to the Queen Mother at her garden party. He

taught every level from elementary to engineering students at the

college level, taught at a Job Corps center, and a state institution for

incorrigible youths, His greatest success was teaching public school

special needs students using materials and methods he developed.

and astonishing. He survived two open heart surgeries, two heart

stent implants, cancer, and a stroke, outlived two wives, and happily

remarried at age 83.
