In 2018 I retired from Weston High School after my 21st year teaching math there; 2008 was also my 44th year as a teacher altogether. After retiring from Weston, I continued to teach at Harvard’s Crimson Summer Academy each summer (2024 was my 21st, as well as the program’s 21st!), and I recently supervised a student teacher through Simmons. For 21 years I taught at the Saturday Course in Milton, MA, and I used to serve on the board of the Dorchester Historical Society.
I read, cook, and spend a lot of time building my model railroad. Did I mention reading? I also spend a lot of time reading. For some reason I’m left with less free time than would be ideal, considering that I’m supposed to be retired, but somehow I also manage to devote time to my wife, Barbara, and to our feline companions.

My juniors will be excited to hear that there are now 27 new trig functions for them to learn, and that factoring will no longer be taught. It must be true, since I read it on the Internet. And it’s surely from a reliable source.
