| Info | I'm old. I'm a born-again communist, a fundamentalist marxist, a devout atheist, a communist all my life. I've been authorized to do school teaching. I've been married to a man with whom I've been since 1961. My son was born in a previous marriage, in 1956. My daughter was born in 1970. My son's job is auto repair. My daughter's is accounting. My husband does lawyering. I've had to resort to doing real estate sales in order to make any money. I'm the local communist realtor. I grew up in Chicago. 'Emigrated' to Israel in 1965. Emigrated out never having attained citizenship -- Jack's not Jewish!! -- in 1966. Moved from Chicago in 1969 to work in a WOP/CAP in Roanoke. Had the previously planned birth in 1970. Headed for the left coast after participating with local magnificent women in women's liberation activities and seeing The Mime Troupe in Roanoke.
In San Francisco I participated with the food conspiracy. I studied electronics at John O'Connell -- a public high school at which adults and students both were in the classrooms. I then got a job in an apprenticeship program at Lawrence Berkeley Lab and wired electronic boards there upon completion of the training.
I worked at the Pacific Bell phone company in Oakland, repairing long distance lines; was fired for my union activism, not knowing I was to wait until I was tenured before I started opening my mouth.
Did substitute teaching for 5 years -- couldn't get a permanent placement without a 5th year -- not required in Illinois, and I couldn't afford it, especially since I had no guarantee of success being hired. I was never a permanent teacher here or in Illinois.
So I went to work doing real estate sales. And getting more politically active.
