I was then affiliated with Wright State University as a Social Studies educator. I found much success within the institution rising in ranks to Professor in 1975 and later serving as Teacher Education Chair in 1994 having served as Dean of the Branch Campus for 5 years (74-79). Collaboration with other faculty across the university was my specialty.
Married since 1962 he and Harriet have now reached their 55th Anniversary in 2017. She also was a teacher of history and English. My undergraduate work in history, geography, political science and education combined to help me form a lasting commitment to a quality education system. This also led to my recent strong interest to provide the focus on the need to promote the theme, Justice for All. I have chosen to make this book have a flowing style of writing with both problems and corrective actions included.
Our only child, a son Nicholas James, was born in 1978. He has worked with Lexis Nexis for 15 years in Client Support for much software and a number of company products. His support for me and for this project has been steady and is much appreciated as it was so consistent with that of my wife.
My hope is for the reader to sense both the problems/restrictions of the judicial system and my encouragement with the number of examples of clear improvement in the system. I seek for this book to serve as a stimulator of quality discussions with resulting actions which will make the Pledge of Allegiances closing words truly a more fully accurate description of our Justice System. My goal is to have ALL people feel the flag has that meaning for them.view less
