Personal Commentary
I enjoyed every minute of my teaching and counseling experience.
After I retired, I went overseas to Saipan and Palau and taught American English to native teachers‑‑Chimonos and Caralineans (1983‑1986).
I led trips for SONS IN RETIREMENT over much of the world from 1986 to 1993.
