Like my parents

Like many kids (particularly children of the 60's?) I thought for sure I would never live a life like my parents.....my mother a school teacher, my father a (not very successful) small businessman.   So after years of working in left movements, I settled down into what I thought of as a straightforward technocratic career in occupational safety and health.

But then  I ended up  working as a faculty member at West Virginia University training local union members in health and safety, and eventually founding a soft money institute to support improving health and safety conditions at work.

So in the end....a teacher and a small businessman.
