John Williams,
Elementary
Physical Education Section Editor
Physical education teacher at Ayden Elementary School for the past 24 years.
I am also the First Responder for emergencies, A Certified CPR Instructor,
the schools Sys-op, webmaster, and IMS person. I teach evening computer
technology courses at Pitt Community College.I graduated from East Carolina
University. I played football and wrestled there. I was also priviledged
to be able to help with the girl's gymnastics team (which they don't have
anymore). Before becoming a teacher I was a clown and magician. I traveled
with the Ronald McDonald show doing the opening magic show and playing Professor
and Grimace. I still make balloon animals for my students as rewards. I
have acted in summer stock, outdoor dramas, local commercials, professional
and local theaters and have worked with Kim Zimmer and Grant Goodeve. I
have coached football, wrestling, track and girl's softball. I have been
married for 24 years and have a teenage daughter. Hobbies include: hunting,
fishing, playing the guitar, computers, collecting old books and memorabilia
on gymnastics and physical education. Prized possessions are an 1827 mint
copy of The elements of gymnastics for boys and of calisthenics for young
ladies by Gustavus Hamilton and an inscribed/autographed 1879 copy of Gymnastique
Pratique by Napolean Laisne. |
