Physical Science Teacher: Porta High School, Petersburg, IL, 1978-80. Taught Physical Science, Algebra and Chemistry. This was a Temporary 2 year position I took to allow my business time to develop enough to support me financially. My last full time teaching position with kids. Great kids, and great fun, but only had a 2 year provisional teaching certificate in Illinois. I really got started in my Solar Energy Work while I was here.

Founder, Director: The Ark (Alternative Jr./Sr. High School), Mt. Tremper, N.Y., June 1972-Feb. 1975. Completely organized, started and ran independent, experimental school near Woodstock, N.Y. Supervised staff of 3 full-time and 12 part-time teachers. Organized workshop programs summers 1973 and 1974. Reorganized and ran The Transformation Foundation, non profit corporation acting as umbrella for school. Salary $300/month. I at least partially accomplished one of my dreams with The Ark, I developed a true learning community for the students where they had a large voice in their education. Many students were turned around here. Some of them were failing in the public schools, and then returned to great success.

Editor, Writer: High School Science Sections, Project PLAN, Westinghouse Learning Corp., New York, N.Y., Aug. to Dec. 1972. Revised sections of individualized programmed instruction packets for high school general science and physics courses. $1400/month, temporary position while planning The Ark.

Chairman Science Department: Elizabeth Irwin H.S., New York, N.Y., 1971-72. Reorganized H.S. Science Curriculum. Integrated middle school and high school science curriculum. Introduced new science courses and student curriculum survey. Supervised two staff members; taught 9^th grade integrated science course; "Science and Society" (10^th­12^th); and physics (12^th). Enrollment in elective science courses increased by 50% during my tenure.

Science Teacher: Middle and Upper School, St. Ann's Episcopal School, Brooklyn Heights, N.Y. 1969-71. Experimental school for gifted children (IQ > 135). Expanded and taught lab courses for general science, physics and biology courses (4^th­10^th), expanded and taught physics-general science (5^th­6^th). $7000-$8000/year. Left for higher paying position with more responsibility. This is where and when I really learned how to teach. There were many brilliant people here, students, staff, and teachers, and I profitted greatly from my experience with them. I hated to leave this place!

Director of Group Activities, Master of Ceremonies, Musician: The Group Image, New York, N.Y. 1967-68. Became involved with this group while arranging to go to Europe. Coordinated activities of rock bands and light shows, acted as "floor man" for dances, directed audience participation, played harmonica with band in Multi-media rock concert-dances. Wages varied from $100/hour to nothing. Left to start own band, then traveled throughout Europe 5 months. This was one of my best times physchologically and spiritually. I studied Yoga, and with my fellow "Hippies" in the Group Image I was able to develop my first real concept of "self worth" and self motivation and direction.

Integral Yoga Institute, NYC, 1967-1970  Studied Integral Yoga (Hatha Yoga, Meditation, etc.) at the Institute in NYC with Swami Satchitananda and his disciples.  This was a turning point in my life.  It helped me to gain control over my body, my mind, and my life.  Reached the point of advanced student.

Molecular Device Engineer: Norden Div. United Aircraft Corp., Norwalk, CT, 1966-67. Research and Development in microelectronics, also wrote and edited spec manuals for technicians. Company got new contract and wanted me to work overtime, since I was commuting from NYC this was impossible, also planned to travel to Europe.

Demonstrator in Physics: The University of Adelaide, Adelaide, S. Australia, 1964-65. Taught first year university physics, while initiating research program on protonic conduction in organic substances in PH.D program. Salary 1300 Australian Pounds/year. Resigned to return to U.S.  This was a very important experience for me, especailly living in Australia.  It taught me that many things I had taken for granted were relevant.  Even though Australia is an English speaking country, many of the words are different, the sense of humor is different, the sports are different, and the politics, geography, and many other points are different.  This really brought home to me the effects of culture on a person.  

Assistant Professor of Physics: Eastern Kentucky University, Richmond, KY, 1963-64. Taught undergraduate courses in Physical Science, Nuclear, Modern and General Physics. $7000/yr. Urged by Univ. to get PH.D, so left for position in Australia teaching and working on Ph.D.

Space Physicist: Lockheed Aircraft, CALAC, Spacecraft Div., Burbank, CA, 1962-63. Engineering research and proposal writing on effects of extraterrestrial radiation and meteoroids on manned spacecraft. $7200-$8400/yr. Left for college teaching position because of poor work environment (5 months after I left Co. Division was eliminated).  Los Angeles was my first experience out of my sheltered bubble of the WASP life.  I grew up in a small Midwestern town in a very middle class setting, and until I got out of school and the University Environment did not realize that the "Work Ethic" was not a universal law of nature, and that not every one practiced it.  This was a very difficult thing for me to come to grips with at the time, since I had dedicated myself to very conscientous study in Graduate School, with the belief that when I got out I would immediately get to use all this knowledge I had sacrificed so much of my time and pleasure for.  Unfortunately Lockheed CALAC was on a "Cost Plus Fixed Fee" contract and so efficiency and knowledge were sometimes at cross purposes with their goals..  

Graduate Assistant in Physics: Ohio University, Athens, OH, 1960-62. Two year position while working on MS degree. Set up and taught labs and problem sessions for first year physics courses. $2000/yr./12 hour week.  I really started to learn Physics when I had to teach it to others.  Teaching physics and my desire to be able to do it successfuly forced me to learn to be a good communicator.
