As a result of this program, Lorraine Jorgensen-Zimney was able to begin her thirty-eight year teaching career as a seventeen year old high school graduate, in a school where her eighth grade boy was only three years younger than she was.
Though at times she misses teaching and the students, she now has the free time that comes with retirement, so that she can enjoy doing some of her long postponed hobbies and projects.
Other books available by Lorraine Jorgensen-Zimney are TEDDY and TEDDY THE SEQUEL about life on a 1940s farm with her beloved Border Collie, Teddy.ver menos
