Thoughts from a National Campaign Committee member
|
What could be better than teaching subject matter you love to wonderful students in a small college environment? That is what I did for 38 years as a Mathematics teacher at KSTC, EKSC, and finally at ESU. Teaching at ESU was a marvelous adventure.--George Downing, MS 1958, Emporia, Kansas
