Today's Featured Biography

 

 
John Dawson


PERSONAL INFORMATION:
Name: John William Dawson, PhD
Mailing Address.1307 Glen View Drive; Brentwood, TN, 37027
E-Mail Address [email protected]
Phone 615-973-1966
Marriage Carol Willis Dawson, August 25, 1968
Children # 2, John Will Dawson IV an environmental attorney and Gini Moonshower an English teacher
Grand children # 4 Will Dawson, David Moonshower, Ryan Dawson, Dawson Moonshower
Additional education BA Chemistry, David Lipscomb College, 1963; PhD Nuclear Chemistry, Florida State University, 1968
Employment, several in order of employment: David Lipscomb College, Chemistry Professor; AWARE, Laboratory Director; Chemlabs, owner; Tridon, Materials Engineer; Thiokol Propulsion, Materials and Process Engineer; Hydro International, sales engineer for storm water devices;. On occasion I have served as adjunct chemistry and physical science instructor and HS algebra tutor.

At this time I am employed by the Work Less Company, job description, whatever I please.

Hobbies: Wrangler of mule and walking horse for trail riding, canoe builder, hiker on local trails, laboratory director of Science Sunday, an experiential education program designed for grandsons in Grades 5, 4, 3,and 2, using rather sophisticated laboratory devices with all observations designed to stimulate curiosity. Yes, I try to charcoal sketch, watercolor, fabricate wire jewelry; I accomplish travel with vacations at Hilton Head Island three times per year and remote locations for horse camping trail riding adventure. I maintain close friendships with former college and university classmates and many former students taught over the years. ” I do not do windows”, but I garden vegetables and cultivate a roses, recently tobacco cultivation. I read. I read, I read, get the message? I also write for my own amusement. I partially maintain landscape of a 1 acre residential lot in Brentwood Tennessee and mend fences on a 20 acre farm in Schochoh Kentucky, enjoy coyote hunting, fly fishing, canoe floats, write poetry and plays essays, engage in philosophy discussions and occasionally participate in Wednesday Night Prayers.
Waterford Township High School Memories:
Favorite Teacher Nicholas Menghini, Geometry and Liousbista Siagris, Latin; least favorite David Klinke for giving me a C's in chemistry but somehow I seemed to later connect in chemistry securing a world class chemistry education, academic career as a chemistry professor, professional employment as a chemistry business owner and chemical research scientist.

Favorite Class (s) all chemistry, physics, math and English Literature, least favorite biology

As I reflect on the past 55 years, I am especially grateful to Waterford Township public schools for helping to prepare me for a world class education for experimental research in nuclear chemistry and to function as a an experimental scientist in several interesting occupations, including studying chemistry with hundreds of my students.

Favorite memories of Waterford Township High School . At this time I cherish memory of several former classmates. On occasion I review the 1959 WTHS Waterlog with handwritten greetings or signatures by photographs. The trips down memory lane with friends around Elizabeth Lake, Stringham Elementary, Crary Junior High and WTHS never fail to add joy to an afternoon.

Most memorable or interesting thing that you remember happening at Waterford includes the many academic experiences in science to enable a proper perspective of the material world I live in now with great joy. A near fatal crash on a snowy curve on Cooley Lake Road, extraction of caffeine from tea leaves and the Senior Trip from Detroit to Chicago by boat, horse and train are prominent in memory. Oh yes, Absher, Karen Anderson, Terry Ball, Sara Bartnigham, Ralph Bergman, Larry Brown, Robert Campbell, Dee, Karen Dickman, Jane, Rick, Larry, Mike, Dick, Ron, Gyla, Sandy, Marti, Pa,t Lila, Juli, Milton, Judy, Morgan, Newman, Harry, Beverly, Penn, Beta, Mona, Gary, Annie, Onalee, Al, Carol VH Carol V, Roger, Dorthy, Lanny, Zilka, and Paula, Bud, Ruth Ann and and Wendy are fondly recalled.

Briefly share some experiences of the last 55 years, Again, it impossible to summarize 55 years on one page. I do not do Face book, Twitter, Face time, or Skype. But in the event any member of the WTHS class of 1959 care to correspond, we can work something out. As previously referenced I'm employed by The Work Less Company, I would gladly stay in touch with almost any person age 70 + with an interest or memory to share.
