When I tell my kids about the "good old days" I try to have on hand evidence to back me up. Here is my contract to teach high school in San Antonio. The salary comes to about $3 per hour and I was a happy camper. I had been making 75 cents an hour while working my way through college. The other picture is of a student in my physics class. His name is Sul Ross Thorward. He is now teaching at Ohio State University and a practicing psychiatrist. This is Sul Ross now.

I always wore a tie in those days because I had grown weary of being asked for a hall pass by veteran teachers. Here is another of me in those days with student Bill Lundell.
