This is a photo of me with two of the 12th graders at my German high school. The girl on left is Caroline Bolten and the one on the right is Anna Brokmeier.

After teaching English at Lompoc (CA) High School for three years, I gave up teaching and set off to see the world, joining a very dubious organization claiming to be a group of "publishers' representatives" touring Central and South America.  Of course it turned out to be something quite different, so I left them in Puerto Rico where I got a job teaching English and mathematics (in Spanish).

After a year there I gave up teaching, got a job with a (real) publishing house in NYC, but went off on a long European vacation first.  On my first day in London I met a nice man at Piccadilly Circus and suddenly found myself teaching again, this time mathematics (in Brrrrrritish English). 
 

When the nice British man was transferred to Germany, I found a job teaching English as a foreign language at a German high school and discovered that I actually liked it and stayed on for 33 years, retiring in July 2005.
