I was an Assistant Principal for 13 years and a Principal for a total of 17 years before retiring. I was once Principal of my Alma Mater before returning to Texas from where I came, and where my Daughters and their families had made their home and are doing well.

After retirement I also worked part time as a Ballpark Supervisor for the Houston Ast...(read more)
