My first book started as a memoir, 

to tell my grandchildren my story. 

I have worked as a successful engineer, 

college professor and entrepreneur, but I spent part of my childhood hiding 

from the Nazis during World War II. I wanted to tell my grandchildren 

my family’s story, to help them understand why my parents are my heroes, 

so I signed up for a noncredit class in writing memoirs at Anne Arundel 

Community College. Ten classes later, my memoirs have been published 

and I’m working on two other books.

I’m inspired 

by taking care of my son. 

After coming out of the 

military, I thought it would be a good 

idea to go back to college. I wanted 

a way to still support my son and 

gain some more business and management skills for the job market. 

I had a work/study program in the Veterans Resource Center at Anne 

Arundel Community College. At the time, I had a 4.0 and was selected to 

go to the first Community College Summit at the White House. It was an 

awesome experience. I was also inducted into Phi Theta Kappa. The night 

of the ceremony was my son’s birthday. It really brought home the reason 

I’m doing this.Teaching him motivates me to do better in school. 

AACC has hundreds of degrees, certificate programs and courses 

of study to help you achieve you career and family goals. 

Enroll today at 410-777-AACC (2222).
