Notes:

Following the lead of Bernice Carver, Forrest Fruits and Keith Prichard, I entered the field of education. Starting in Peru, Indiana teaching Speech and US History, I directed plays and musicals while coaching the competition Speech team. Fortune smiled as twice students won the state and national NFL titles.

In 1967, I moved to Warren Central High School in Indianapolis, IN. There I taught Theatre & Speech until 2001. Along the way, I became active in the state and national theate education organizations, serving as President of both during the 1990s.

In 2001 I retired from teaching and was honored when the school district named our studio theatre complex: Thom Feit Studio Theatre. After six months of relaxation, I return to Warren township schools to serve as Project Manager of the Lilly Endowment Grant to MSD of Warren Township. The $4.5 million dollar grant funds over 40 different programs in our schools.

In 2004, Barb and I moved to southwest Florida. In the summer of 2006, after spending some time in Arizona, we moved from the "swamps" of Florida to the "desert" of Arizona. For us, this has been a wonderful change. The endowment grant continues, and allows me to live in the southwest, but fly to Indianapolis each month to assist in administration of the programs.

Clearly involvement with education was formed early at CCHS, and continues even today.
