teachingjob Iwas offeredand workedfor
San DiegoCity Schoolsfor 25 years.The first
sevenyears,mygoal was to savethe world
throughreadingand studyingstoriesand to
get to the end of the pay scaleas soonas
possible.That meantgettingan M.A.at Pep-
perdineUniversityplus 60 hoursin graduate
coursesin English.Did that!ThenIwanteda
condo.Got one!
