I made my living as an actor from about 1976 until 1990. Google has a few of the projects on which I worked if you might be interested. I was a spokesman for several large store chains in the Southeast. By the time I took a break from the business, I had done approximately 300 tv commercials. Numerous film projects, and stage plays.

After I took an extended leave from "Show Biz", I started teaching, and have never looked back. I loved teaching so after I retired, I went back to teaching as a substitute. Now I choose the days I want to work and at what grade level. The funny thing is I am in a class almost as much as I was when teaching full time.

I just remember the uneasiness of the school due to racial problems. Personally, I never had any problems, but there were times I was not comfortable.
