As a science teacher/administrator for 46 years at all education levels, elementary through graduate school, the author witnessed a variety of classroom situations that were not only funny, but often very instructive. In his book, Humor in the Classroom: From Busby to Brown, he relates numerous incidents of humor that occurred in his teaching career as well as those of many of his colleagues. The incidents of humor occurred at all grade levels and in a wide variety of institution types-from a tiny Native American boarding school in southeastern Montana (Busby) to Brown University. The point of the book is twofold-to entertain the reader (most folks have gone to school), and to show teachers and aspiring teachers how humor can be a powerful instructional tool. Most of the funny happenings revealed in the book are from the author's experience, but several former and present-day colleagues, friends, and acquaintances have added their own humorous school stories to the mix. The book chronicles the humor that occurred in the author's and his colleagues' classrooms from 1964-2006 and includes stops in Montana, South Dakota, Wyoming, North Carolina, Rhode Island and back to North Carolina. The point of the book is that a sense of humor is not only a prerequisite to being a good teacher, but it can help students in the learning process as well.

Integrated Basketball at the Little Big Horn: a 1957 Success Story tells the incredible story of Larry Pretty Weasel's accomplishments on the basketball courts of Montana's high schools and how this phenomena led to the loosening of decades of a biracial social system. Led by Larry and his mates on the basketball court and off, racial barriers in place for decades began to break down as Native American and whites got behind the first Hardin High School team to start three Indians and two whites. Members of both races still measure the accomplishments and successes of young high school players against those of Larry's--some of which have been on the books for more than 60 years.This book details the shifting attitudes of the tenants of Big Horn County and the Native American boy who helped inspire those changes.

Basketball at the Little Big Horn: A 1957 Success Story tells the incredible story of Larry Pretty Weasel’s accomplishments on the basketball court and the expanding integration of a Montanan school system inspired by his athletic achievements. It is also, in part, the story of Steven E. Dyche, whose athletic career spiraled downward as Larry’s whizzed upwards. The Hardin Bulldog basketball team of 1956-1957 was the first Hardin team to start three Native Americans and two whites. Lead by Larry Pretty Weasel, the basketball team’s astounding success united Native Americans and whites both on the court and off. Hardin basketball fans still measure upcoming roundball phenoms against Larry’s accomplishments. He was the greatest, and there will never be another like him. Basketball at the Little Big Horn recounts the shifting attitudes in Big Horn County in 1957 and the Native American boy who helped inspire their change.
