Twenty-four Years Ago Today

On this date, August 26. 1985. I started to work for the Corunna Public Schools in Corunna, Michigan. It was a Monday and orientation for teachers was held that day with classes starting the next day. My job assignment was to teach elementary school music to kindergarten through fifth grade. I would teach at two schools--one at Elsa Meyer Elementary in Corunna, Michigan for three days a week and the other for two days a week at Nellie Reed Elementary in Vernon, Michigan. This began a career that lasted almost 20 years and was the best job I ever had. Teaching children of this age was sheer joy and pleasure.
