I have been an educator for 24 years.   Around half of these years were in Hecla and the other half at Britton-Hecla.   I have taught mainly 3rd grade.    I knew by the time I was 8 or 9 that I wanted to be a teacher.    I am married to Terry Anderson and we reside at Blue Dog Lake.  I have a daughter, Toni Mattson, and a son, Weston Dinger.    Terry has three daughters, Keri, Allison, and CJ.   We have a combined 13 grandchildren.
