Happily retired after an incredible career. Nothing ever matched the magic of the classroom, no awards, honors, or degrees. Now, I’ve visited all 50 states, crossed the Abbey Road crosswalk, walked the Seine and the Thames, all the while with my wonderful wife, Lisa. I play lots of guitar (even in a band now), camp monthly, and exercise every day. Seven grandkids so far, but three time zones apart. So I split time between Ohio and California. I am so very grateful that a kind Fate let me spend my life in service to others. It’s a rare privilege.
