As I was getting ready to retire from the Army in 1992, I was in a quandary about what to do with the rest of my life. As I investigated job possibilities I thought about a program we sponsored at Sacramento Army Depot to recruit teachers from qualified people who were leaving government service. I went out to observe several classrooms in the area, and I was really impressed with the Folsom-Cordova school district. I signed up for a crash course that resulted in a California teaching credential and a job teaching at Folsom Middle School beginning in the summer of 1993. I taught there for four years before moving to Fort Worth, Texas and continuing my teaching career in Texas. During those 4 years I met some of the greatest kids I have ever known. I have stayed in touch with some of them through the years, and I count them as dear friends, and I am proud to have been part of their lives. Jaguars Rule!
