Comments

I have raised 3 children then I became a teacher when the youngest was 13. I taught math to special needs students for 17 years. My hobbies are downhill skiing and golf. I’m also a singer songwriter I divorced after 30 years of marriage and now have 2 grand daughters and 2 more children soon to be married. I have lived in Birmingham AL since 1992. Now I spend a lot of time in Colorado, South Florida and traveling the world. I’m having a blast
Before I married I worked for a record company in LA and had a small business with my cousins selling excersize clothes and nasty lingerie.
I recently bought a condo in Denver to be nearer to the two children that live in Colorado. I have 2 grand daughters in Steamboat Springs and one on the way in Denver. all the children are married now. We still have a home in Birmingham, AL at present as my partner's family is there. I'm sad to say my partner of many years, Dan Trotman, MD has passed. I will be permanently in Colorado

School Story

Since college, I got my M.Ed in special education at the University of Alabama, Birmingham in 2001. I also became a National Board Certified Teacher in Special ed. It expired when I retired. When Covid is over I expect to resume my hobbies but also volunteer to help kids get caught up in math. I taught math in middle school and high school for 17 years (mostly high school). In retirement I tutored algebra and geometry to special needs kids. (autism). I have been very fortunate in so many ways.

I guess i don't pay enough attention to this page.  I didn't know Jimmy had passed.  When I was still living in Birmingham, I met up with him for dinner during a trip to Nashville.  He was so happy in his life  there.  He told me stories about his forey into the Nashville music scene that made me laugh.  His stories so impressed me that I wrote a song dedicated to him.  He also regaled me with his adventures playing with the Knack.  I saw them so many times before they were signed and had no idea he was part of the band.  May his memory be a blessing.  We are all better for him being in our lives.

Jamie was lovely.  She didn't care about other people's status or popularity.  She was just nice.  I'm glad to have known her.

I'm so sorry for the loss of Dana.  I left California many years ago but I remember him as my friend.
