It's always a dilemma as to how much to tell a stranger about yourself. Oh well, I will throw caution to the wind and tell you...

What you need to know:

    At present I am a teacher/librarian in a small high school near Bowmanville, Ontario, Canada. However, I spent the previous 16 years teaching English, history, art, drama, and special ed. Last year I passed the half way mark on the road to retirement. Since I have almost as many to go as have gone, I don't think about retirement much, especially since the thought of being old and told to go home doesn't fill me with anticipation.

    Before being a teacher I once was a photographer for a major weekly Toronto newspaper and even got a diploma in photography from Sheridan College in Oakville, Ontario. After three years I was getting pretty sick of that and then I won a national sports photography award and decided to quit. Alas, I quit just about the same time as our cartoonist and illustrator did. I went to Guelph and Queen's and became a teacher and the artist, Jim Unger, went on to become fabulously wealthy and famous as the man behind the cartoon Herman. He is the one famous person I know whose name I can drop into almost any conversation.
