Ever since I was a kid I enjoyed learning about history, to me, learning fictional books about people that never existed was boring! I favorite the Founding Fathers to the Justice League, even as a young person. This made me very unpopular as a child, but it also led me into a life of teaching, which has become my passion! I even wrote a nonfiction book about the history of the part around Lee’s Summit, MO, the locale where I was born as well as raised, but after a lifetime of scholarly pursuits, my cohorts at the Lee’s Summit university district were shocked as well as alarmed when I announced I was quitting, and not only was I stepping down from teaching, however I was opening up my own local cannabis dispensary. I was only a few years away from retirement anyway, as well as running a cannabis shop in Lee’s Summit was a dream I had long carried with me. The wonderful thing is that I still get to talk about the history of this town as much as ever, only now I’m not limited by the Missouri state requirements. There are some dark periods of history for Lee’s Summit, which I was never allowed to discuss in any of my classes, then my cannabis shoppers love to hear my lecture as well as talk about Lee’s Summit, which makes my new task the best one I’ve ever had. The scandal around me was short-lived, because cannabis is mostly legal here, as well as the people of Lee’s Summit are very accepting as well as laid back! Besides, most of them are my shoppers!
