I'm a Teacher-Librarian in a large urban California high school. I was a music/PE/Info Science teacher/librarian for the U.S. Dept. of Defense Dependents Schools in Canada & Japan for 31 years. While living in Japan I was a broadcast journalist for TV-Asahi, NHK-TV, NTV. I also worked as a freelance writer/narrator for the English Journal and was Japan correspondent for Colored Stone magazine, professional gemology organ published in Pennsylvania. Like most of you, I'm a voracious reader & always have something with me to read. For other fun, my first love is reading serious chamber music. I like to play tennis/golf and while my brother had a 25' O'Day sloop I really enjoyed cruising the Great Lakes.
