of high school. He found success in the military and after honorable
discharge, returned to school become an educator earning BA, MEd,

one of his special needs students with a very loud
voice. "If she had hooked up with Joshua outside
the walls of Jericho he would not have needed
any trumpets!"

and was presented to the Queen Mother at her garden party. He
taught every level from elementary to engineering students at the
