Brief Bio - Buddy Stefanek
I became a secondary education teacher of French grades
7-12. I had a "checkered" experience as my position was "excessed"
several times for financial reasons. I actually had a total of 20
years teaching experience over about 40 years. I drifted in and out of
teaching when I could find a "French" position somewhere. I was a
substitute teacher , a maternity leave replacement teacher, sickness
replacement teacher as well. I also briefly taught elementary Spanish
for 6 years. I think I set a record for actually teaching in 13
different Long Island school districts! In between, I had 1/2 a dozen
sales position of all kinds. It was a struggle for sure. Enjoying
sunny Tucson, AZ since 2005.
Blessings, Buddy Stefanek
