| Introduction | After a 30-year career in banking, I'm now an English teacher at Las Positas College in Livermore, CA. My love of education prompted me to serve as an elected school board trustee and to earn my doctorate in Educational Leadership from Saint Mary's College. For many years I wrote a human interest column for the Bay Area News Group, and this blog is where I have posted many of my favorite columns. Reach me at jimott@sbcglobal.net. |
