My teacher of teacher's was Beatrice Readus. Ms. Readus headed the VICA program, that directed students into vocational areas. Ms. Readus took an interest in my technical training, being involved in Theater Workshop and AV departments, she felt I would be good in a technical vocation. She directed me to a Dentist (Dr. Eugene Mason), he gave me training in Dental Technology. I soon repaired clients dentures, did gold work and handled a full dental lab; in less than 6 months. I did so well, Dr. Mason wanted to help me in approaching Dental School. Well, I did not do well in school.

I did go into another career, Broadcast Technology. I have been a TV Engineer for 37 years, thanks to the care and support of a Harlan H.S. teacher that saw my love of technology and gave me great support. Thank you Ms. Readus.
