 * I am your technology teacher **

Here is a little bit of information about me:

 * My first college degree was in horticulture.


 * I owned a greenhouse business for many years, where I grew and sold vegetables, herbs, and flowers.


 * My house is out in the country, and was built around 1838. It //may// have been part of the Underground Railroad before the Civil War!


 * My son is a rocket scientist! He has Tourette’s syndrome. He was home-schooled throughout all of high school.


 * I like to play the piano, watch very old movies and science fiction, read, garden, and knit!

 * I look forward to getting to know //you//, and helping //you// learn more about how to use the computer!
