Narrative
Following high school I attended Colorado
Christian University and University of Northern Colorado. I began a teaching career at Reed Junior
High in Loveland. However, I had
student taught in Longmont and also lived in Longmont, so I returned to teach
at Longmont Junior High the following year.
Then as Niwot High School opened its doors, I was selected as one of the
math teachers. I remained at Niwot High
until retirement from teaching in June of 1999.
Teaching was very rewarding. I never felt I had to go to work--I just
always got to go to school! It provided
a constant format for learning. The
student body at Niwot was great!
I married Dolores Honeywell in April
1964. We have a son, Todd (a music
teacher in Thornton) and a daughter, Tina Helms (a mother and homemaker in
Niwot). We are grandparents to one boy
and three girls (ranging in age from 2 to 14).
We delight in living near our grandchildren and take every opportunity
to share in their lives.
Upon retiring from teaching, I joined two
other retired men who share my interest in doing small construction jobs. Our jobs include remodeling basements,
kitchens, bathrooms, decks, etc. We
never advertise but seem to keep about as busy as we desire.
A highlight since retiring was a trip to
Kenya, Africa in July and August of 2005.
Our goal was to construct churches and help many who suffered from the
effects of AIDS. While there, we
constructed four church buildings and put the roof on the fifth building. That was indeed a life changing experience.
