“Presently I have a store selling fine jewelry, gems, crystals, minerals, and fossils. I have a degree in geology from Northeastern University in Boston (excellent university). I have worked professionally in the oil fields of Venezuela and eastern Texas, did a stint as a curator of Geology, was a professional independent consultant, and more. I taught exceptional students part-time for a while. Having excellent grades at Phelps helped in becoming an educated adult. At 61, I remember hard and easy times at Phelps. Visit my store! Enjoy life!”
His store is Rochester’s Eclectic Emporium in Oxford, ME.
