Biography

I'm a Southerner radicalized by service in Vietnam and work with the Eugene (OR) Council for Human Rights in Latin America in the 80's. I've lived in six states and worked as a carpenter, printer, reporter, writer, and - for 18 years - as a teacher. I teach 9th graders Civics and 12th graders Journalism. My wife is a potter and we have three children, the youngest still living at home. As I approach retirement, I'm looking for more fulfilling ways to be involved in the struggle for a progressive society.
