This must have been about 1978-79. Jeanne and I were working in a school district called Moreno Valley in Southern California. I was the Dean of Students at Moreno Valley High School and Jeanne was teaching at Edgemont School in the same district. The School Board had just fired our Superintendent and we were big supporters of the fired man. So, we, along with a few others, started a recall election for the offending board members. And we won. Well, this man, Hal Kelban, was a supporter of the other camp. He was Assistant Superintendent in the district and was attempting to threaten me that I should not continue this recall action. I'm not sure the exact incident which provoked this threat. This is my note about it. He was a vile person and hated us for what we did. He eventually lost his job for supporting the wrong side. Sometimes I wonder why we got involved in these political warfare, but we did. It was alot of intrigue and a lot of mystery. At the end of this school year, we left for Salinas.
