About the Author

THOUGHTS was written by Robert Schanke in his adult life. Robert was born and raised in Minnesota where as a youth he was very active in scouting and recreation including running track. He was in the Navy three years during WWII and later attended Miami U. Ohio receiving a B.S. and M.S. in education degrees. Through out his life, he was very active in Boy Scouts. His interests included wood working, photography, camping and traveling. He retired from education after 32 years, having taught math, science and recreation and later as an elementary principal. THOUGHTS reflect his expressions of how he felt about various situations and individuals, what he observed and what he recalled from his youth and days in the past. THOUGHTS came to him at various times —while at school— while at home with his family— while traveling in the United States and abroad. During his retirement he has gathered together his THOUGHTS to publish for others to enjoy.
