Introduction	The Deep End is so named for the early years of my life when I was a competitive swimmer. An America Worth Keeping is the kernel of an idea for publication that I am working on. I later had a short but successful coaching career in swimming and water polo...thus, I am "coach." I also spent almost two decades in professional money management before changing careers to teach high school US History and US Government.
