I taught my first Korean language course, Elementary Korean 111, at Camp Carroll Education Center in Waegwan in the fall of 1965. I was exhilarated and proud to teach a college course for a fully accredited university in the United States.
I started teaching when I was a junior in college. I taught English at a night high school in Daegu not far from home. It was shortly after my three-year active service in the Korean War. Everybody was poor and found living difficult in the war-torn, devastated country.
