I retired from Haywood County Schools in 2013. I have been doing part time teaching music since then and finally decided to go ahead and actually retire. I am still Minister of Music at Bethel Baptist Church here in Bethel. Spend many days now taking care of elders with dementia. Tough time right now, but I am so thankful that God gave me the ability to do this. We all will be there one day and will need lots of assistance.

I have many of these stories....so many, that sometimes they run together of when I was a student at Pisgah and when I was the band director. At any rate, once I was parked in my 1969 MGB (a heap of junk!) right in front of D Building and for some reason, my car kicked into gear and started going up on the sidewalk toward the building! I couldn't get it out of gear and finally had to jerk up the emergency brake to get it to stop! I was getting close to the building...geez....that car always seemed to have a mind of its own!
