after h.s. i worked for a year in chicago, commuting and making little, realizing the importance of college, i enrolled at the WU-extension. after my first year, i transferred to Madison..graduating with a BS degree in 1966. after graduating i returned to kenosha, taught 7th and 8th grade at St Mark's, until 1970 when i moved to Ft Lauderdale Fla to escape the winter. there i met my wife , opened an Italian restaurant, had my daughter, learned how to cook and the rest is history! currently i am caring for my mother as well as cared for my dad, who passed last year and from this caregiving experience i have a desire to hopefully pursue a second career in the field of gerontology.....we all need help!
i have completed my certificate of gerontology this semester, 2011.
