I was born in 1934 in Nottingham, England, When I would tell my students this, and that it was the town associated with Robin Hood, there was always some smart-alecky seventh grader who would ask me if I knew Robin Hood. The answer is, of course, "No, he was before my time---very slightly!"
I taught seventh graders in the same rural school in Mississippi for thirty years which means that when I was near retirement, I was teaching the children of my former students.
I came to the States in 1963 and until recently, I was the owner of an original green "green card." {They are no longer green these days.}
I now live in sin in Vermont with a man I met on the Internet!
{I love throwing that line out!]
Fred and I "met" online when I advertised looking for a pen-pal. Gradually, over the course of the next year, we became more and more fond of each other, and almost six years ago, I moved up here to Vermont and here I have been ever since.
I am 70-and-spitting-distance-of-71 as of this writing; he is 77. After nearly seven years together, I still find him interesting and he can still make me laugh...
