Mr. Hickey is a huge UO
Duck fan. Every year he gets season tickets. He started his college
career at Southern Oregon College (that is what it was
called back then, it's now SOU). He worked hard to get his
Bachelor's degree in elementary education. Then he moved
over to Western Oregon and got his Master's in the same
thing. He finally finished his college career at Lewis and
Clark, where he collected his Administrative
Credentials. Mr. Hickey is now a
member of the Oregon Reading Association and the
International Reading Association. He is the coordinator who
works with the state group ( in this case Oregon) and he
represents the state group in the International association.
Mr. Hickey also used to
coach soccer in Albany. He coached two teams of kids, from
grades 3rd through 6th, into championships. Both teams had
won in the same year. He has also coached a middle school
track team. Mr. Hickey did an outdoor school class,
kind of like Mr. Larlee's Mount St. Helen's trip. He would
take a class for a week trip into the woods where they would
learn about forest, wildlife, streams, and (my personal
favorite) fish. He has a family of four, (a wife, a son, and
a daughter) who live in Yamhill-Carlton. His daughter is a
probation officer in Lane County. At the moment he is a
resident of Tygh Valley, which is north of Maupin (toward
The Dalles). Joey Dove joeyd@swasco.net
