Retired Superintendent Quapaw Public Schools Quapaw, Oklahoma

[David Carriger @DavidCarriger]

After 468 board meetings, I turned the lights off for the last time.  In 36 years as a superintendent and principal I only missed one board meeting.  I was at Carlsbad Caverns on a family vacation.  My last day is today. Retirement begins tomorrow. 42 great years!
