I have been teaching at Jefferson College, Hillsboro, MO for 25 years (and adjunct at SEMO and SCCC awhile ago) and have taught about 18 or so different classes in the areas of math, science, teacher education, and microcomputer apps. I also previously taught junior and senior high school, same subjects. I have taught or volunteered with all grade levels from 3 year olds through university seniors, other than 8th grade. I taught computer classes so long ago, that most of the students had never used a computer. As a much younger person I taught some of the administrators of an order of nuns in some of my classes, and have had some of them pass away from old age! And yet I am still working full time. Yes, I have even taught three generations of students in one family.

I enjoy visiting and hanging out with my 8 children and grandkids. And my parents still own the house across from StG School; they are now 93 years old. So at that rate, I plan on seeing y'all for the 75 year reunion, too.

Also I have done a lot of College Math textbook editing and authoring of supplements, thanks to the foundation from Sr Jane Francis and Miss Ketting!

I have attended many state, national, and international conferences, presented many sessions and workshops, and volunteered one summer in Poland.

'Nuff said! Nice to hear about everybody!

Running across the street to get a radio the day President Kennedy was assassinated. That's how we got information back then, and could hear what was going on. Not a happy memory, but probably everybody in Sr. Jane Francis' class remembers it. And remember her microphone and receiver, and how sometimes the communications between cabs came across her device. Remember having young Father Liss come for religion class and trying to teach 50 kids at once? He recently retired!
