About me/us (Hobbies, interests, life philosophy, etc.) :

Arborist, Timberman, Firefighter, Resource Manager, Restoration Coordinator, Park Ranger, U.S. Ranger... all nice titles that show I succeeded in making a career out of playing outside. What a ride!

Now retired, work part time, still play with trees and in the garden. Still an avid motorhead. As for my kid, she's proof I won the lottery; I could not have been luckier or more proud.

Who else in your family is a CHS Alum?

Christopher Hart Toovey, class of 1970.
Patricia Tracy Toovey, departed CHS in (I believe) 1971, graduating from a private school in 1973.

What teacher inspired you the most & how has it affected your life?

Bill Vaskis hands down. The first adult to really draw out my thoughts and ideas. Also the first to challenge them and in doing so, make me challenge myself.

Josie (Mardi) Rodriquez. Ella que supo que yo tenia la abilidad de aprender, ella que tuvo una expectación de mi. Yo nunca olvidé.

I was just thinking about Mr. Farley yesterday, and described him to my daughter. Mr. Farley was a complex guy with so many attributes. A lover of English, theatre, poetry... and a boxer and athlete, tho he always seemed to move in an easy, relaxed way. He was one of the adults in my (then) young life who would speak to me "one on one," getting through to me while acknowleding that at 16, I might already have some experience of my own. He could tell you amazing stories, but preferred to listen. That made him an adult to trust and respect.

Thanks, Mr. Farley
