Early Years: Memphis, Tennessee- I spent my first 22 years in Memphis, Tennessee, graduating from Kingsbury High School (Valedictorian) in 1962 and Memphis State University (Magma Cum Laude) in 1966 with a BA in Sociology and again in 1969 an MEd. in Counseling. My first job out of graduate school was with the Memphis Urban League as a trainer in the OJT program. I marched during the garbage strike and remember well the night Dr. King was gunned down.
Middle Years: Jacksonville, Florida-I started working as a counselor for Florida Junior College in 1970, four years after the college opened its doors. After thirty six years, I retired. I thoroughly enjoyed my job because of the variety of students that I have had the opportunity to serve. In addition, the number of different tasks I performed, including teaching SLS classes and conducting workshops on study skills, career development, and the MBTI, meant that every day was a new experience.
Later Years: I retired from FCCJ in 2006
and hope to return to Tennessee in the near future. I plan to continue
to teach online courses from wherever life leads me.
