I also learned Russian while I was in the Army. I have hitchhiked and bicycled through Europe, acted in college and community theater, provided low-income housing for seniors and served as a YHMCA camp counselor where my expert campfire ukulele playing was truly appreciated.
But my biggest passion is educating America's youth. For twenty ears I taught various subjects in secondary schools, including English, Russian, speech, drams while also coaching track and providing guidance counseling.
Being of the "Father Knows Best" generation I was unprepared to deal with youth drug culture that began to arise in the late '60's, so I moved my young family from California to Maine for a more wholesome life. Forty years later I am telling my family's story in "Damn Californians" to inspire readers with the all-American pioneering spirit.
I am currently living in Lake County, California. I have recently traveled internationally in China, most of Europe including Greece and Turkey, Canada, Alaska and Hawaii. My US Army posts were in Japan and Hawaii.weniger sehen
