I continued working on the farm throughout high school. I have worked during the summer when I was in college as a carpenter's helper, painter, worked in a machine shop, handyman on a golf course. Mostly they were low skilled jobs. I like the people who work at Rolling Ridge, the students who attend, and the parents who support the school. Rolling Ridge is very user-friendly and the staff seems like one big family.
Every day is different and has been for the past twenty-five years.
A new adventure everyday. I had opened a new school in 1968 just a few miles from here, Sully Elementary School. Since I had experience opening a new school seven years earlier, Superintendent Robert E. Butt, asked me to open a new school that was being built here in Sterling Park in 1975, Rolling Ridge Elementary School. When Rolling Ridge opened, some of the students from Sully Elementary would be attending Rolling Ridge along with some students from Sterling Elementary. I like to talk to the children and joke with them.
