About the Book

Memories of a high school teacher and coach of three sports - a "ham radio" operator since 1953 who is Net Control of the Military All-Services Net and Faculty Adviser for student Club Stations. He becomes Chair of a University's Civil Engineering Department, and for thirty years teaches Physics and Math at another college winning a "Teacher of the Year" Award. Reads like another "Good-bye Mr. Chips!" script.

"You tricked us into learning physics by telling our all male high school class, 'Every normal, teenage American male is inherently interested in automobiles.' That was certainly true in the 1950's, and then you proceeded to teach all of physics - sound, mechanics, electricity, light, fuel systems, etc. - by applications to autos." - M. Posa, High school student.

"Your Memoirs recall for many of us the joys and rewards of teaching.. You are so lucky to have had a long life in the teaching profession. - B. F., your colleague at Broward Community College

"Congratulations ! We honor you as "A Golden Poet of 1991 for your poem, "Lost and Found: ". - Contest Judge.

"Your Memoirs are interesting, enjoyable reading, even though I did have to occasionally pull out the dictionary. You are STILL the teacher!." - F. K., e-mail contact.
