Alvin has been teaching at Chandler High School forty years and I don't know how long for the Maricopa Community College. However, in 1985 they opened Chandler-Gilbert Community College and he has been teaching ceramics at the high school facility for CGCC because they didn't have a ceramic studio. Six years ago they passed a bond election (or whatever they call it) to build a new science and ceramic facility. This semester it was complete and classes for the spring semester are using this fabulous new building.

Today they had a gathering to celebrate the opening of this new wing of the college called "Ironwood Hall." These are some pictures of his new place.












For this semester he is super busy going back and forth from the high school to the college teaching. Next year he will only teach college and that will be so nice for him.
