I'm a high school history teacher in the northern panhandle of WV (John Marshall High School) and a Christian songwriter. I've set up this site for my family, friends, neighbors and co-writers, but an occasional student wanders on and "befriends" me.
I'm married to a wonderful husband who is a retired high school history teacher and we live here with our golden retriever, black mutt, stray cat, and pound cat. Life is good.
Here's some family pictures as well as one of a group of co-workers I had the privilege of working with. Most of them retired in recent years (they were all hired at the same time back in the early 70's) so we've got a virtually all new social studies staff at JM as we gear up for another 30 years of quality service! I get to bridge the gap.
The videos below are of my senior year in JMHS band, a fairly recent JMHS choral concert presentation of a song I wrote, and a song I did for Father's Day for my Dad.
Who I'd like to meet: I've met everyone here I would hope to except Billy Graham. I look forward to seeing Jesus, but I'll wait until the time is right. ;)
John Marshall Marching Band (1981)
Hi Susan...Thank you for thinking of my Mom. She is home now taking it easy. Her surgery went well and the doctor said her stint was functioning as it should. Next they are going to look into her Gallbladder, maybe that is the culprit. Hope to see you soon! Love Ya (:
I was just thinking, you should consider writing a book. History: A decade in a sentance. .. Or something equally as witty, but coming from the mind of MARK, or someone. :]
Yesterday, in my Soc class at OU-E, Professor Galbreath was talking about Hull House, and everyone was giving him the "trout look". When he suddenly asked, "Does anyone know what I'm talking about?" I then blurted out a long ramble about Jane Adams. Needless to say he was very impressed, and now I'm one of his favourite students. LOL. So I wanted to thank YOU for that. :D

Hey, I just wanted to tell you Cayden is here. He was 7 pounds 5 ounces. and 20 1/2 inches long. he was born july 28th. And he know weighs 9 pounds 9 ounces. So how have you been?
Dustin asked Josh Walls (the artist)to paint it and gave him all the things I liked and he picked a The Beatles theme and a picture of me. :D It was a surprise. ♥ It is my favorite gift ever.
I guess I wouldn't be horrified by it. The dropout rate is rising. So I guess it would be better. Less time for kids to get into trouble. But then again, what happens to kids when they don't have summer vacation? I like school so that doesn't really bother me. But I know if Dust had to go back.. he would have dropped out if it was all year.
