Vance Agee
Between four and eight years old, I lived at 162 Bertie Street in Fort Erie, Ontario. I loved Suzanne Bevan, blond hair and bangs. Great people there!
I then attended School 54 in Buffalo and the Martin Luther School, where my favorite was Church History. I would write the assignment and then read for fun!
I attended Buffalo Bennett High School in Buffalo, a great school then. Out of 2000, I was often among top 10. Sometimes I would be number one on the honor roll, with a 99% average. I was valedictorian, but hated the SAT’s. The school failed to measure my I.Q. because I maxed out their group test.
I attended and became valedictorian at summa cum laude from Houghton College in our NY Southern Tier. I spent one summer in Europe. I was asked back for two years as an interim instructor. There I met my wife, Kathleen. For two years I taught at Phil-Mont Academy in Dresher near Philadelphia, PA, took courses at Faith Theological Seminary, and loved working retail at the old Gimbel’s Department Store in King of Prussia, PA. I say honestly, I was the best!
Then we came to Pembroke Jr-Sr High School in Corfu, NY, where I taught five years and led two student tours to Europe. I earned my M.S. in Ed. from SUNY at Brockport 4.0, and moved to the Town of Lewiston near Lake Ontario, NY, to become an assistant principal at Lewiston-Porter C.S.D. for nearly 25 years. I built an international exchange program that included: Minsk, Belarus; Germany, Australia, Canada, France, Japan,Spain, and Venezuela! I took the students to Belarus, Germany, and Australia, and later a small group to the U.K. I also had a cable TV show and produced student video movies!
I took all courses at 3.8+ for a doctorate at SUNY at Buffalo on a Presidential Fellowship (1/100/6840 grad students -- top 5%), but a 13 page survey was a problem in completing a dissertation! I retired from Lew-Port in June of 2001, but am now applying for the H.S. principalship for 2002-03. I have a red belt in karate, used to bench 265 (I weigh 155), and always loved working with students. For now, I am working real estate with the WNY Metro Town and Country in Niagara Falls and doing retail again at the Boulevard Mall in the Kaufmann’s Men’s Store (part of the large May Corporation). My daughter will have both a B.S. in Management from Canisius College and an associates in marketing from the F.I.T. in Manhattan. I love to write, to video, and have numerous other interests. I am grateful to all sites and to all readers!!!
