Short Bio

I am a retired English/journalism teacher (32 years!), all taught at the high school level in Myrtle Beach SC.  I married my college (Marshall University) sweetheart and we just celebrated 50 years — right before my ALS diagnosis in December 2019.  I’ve been active and healthy all my life until about 20 months ago, when I first noticed weakening in my right toes.
