The loss of a baby girl was a hard lesson in 1996, yet it taught me how special and precious my daughters are to me. My most sincere condolences to any of you who have lost a child, be it by death or other circumstances.

The day I thought would never come, finally did (retirement), although a bit sooner than planned. It seems Parkinson’s disease with its balance issues and tremors is not a good thing for an elevator guy. I don’t miss working for reasons that many of you by now are probably familiar with- corporate greed and deliberate understaffing.

I enjoyed learning electronics from Mr. Baron, and spent a lot of my time in his classes in D wing. I learned virtually nothing in math class, but in Electronics, when a number represented something tangible I understood, I could catch on. Then came calculus- that was too abstract for me. I did well in English and I guess I got that from my Dad. Some of you may remember him- he taught English and Humanities at PHS from 1962-1977, then abandoned ship to teach at Timp View until his retirement.
