Phi Delta Theta Fraternity

What’s been happening:

My first career was in the homebuilding business where I was involved in building single family homes, condos and apartments in Texas, California, Utah, and Tennessee. I also worked in the Middle East supervising building military bases for the Israeli Defense Forces and a wing onto the King Faisal Hospital in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. At age 50, I embarked on a teaching career in South Texas in a poor, mostly Hispanic high school. I encouraged many students to enter college and happy that many have graduated, often the first in their families to do so. I taught biology, chemistry, AP physics and college algebra until my retirement in 2005 when I moved back to Houston where I have a growing family of nieces and nephews. I have enjoyed extensive gardening and have traveled to all 50 states and 49 nations on six continents. However, these past two years I have mainly been fighting cancer at two different sites and today am happy to report I am now cancer free.
