Teachers explore other avenues of interest Some faculty members have started businesses of their own Some teachers at Westwood not only ie teaching as their career, but also a .iness of their own. A.l. Lombard, science and chemistry cher, is just one of those teachers. He l his wife Leigh, a 1981 Westwood gra- duate, opened a pro-shop called Bears Sports and Apparel on July 18. Mr. Lombard said that everybody in his family loves racquetball. That's our favor- ite pastime, he added, But l was spend- ing 3100 every six months and it was 32 , 2 '.

He started stringing racquets for friends, then at Gol- den's Health Club. Soon Chuck and Kay Golden offered the Lombards a space at their club to open a pro-shop. Mr. Lombard and his wife thought about it, found an accountant, and within six months they opened their shop. lt turned out better than we planned, he said. We put our life savings into the business, and so far it's showing promise of being successful. Now they have an agreement with the Goldens that every time a health club opens, Mr. Lombard and his wife will open a pro-shop next to it. Ive never had a business course, but l'lI tell you one thing A l've learned an awful lot about business to survive, he said. When asked if he liked teaching better than his business Mr. Lombard said, lt's a tough decision f it's exciting now because it's something new, but I love teaching. As for the future, Mr. Lombard and his wife plan to pass the business over to his son A.l. and daughter Latricia, But that's far in the future, he quickly added. Another teacher involved in a business is Patricia Hinkle. Besides being a business Principal lack loyce listens to a teacher's ques- tion during the December faculty meeting. Held on the first Wednesday of each month at 7:30 a.m., the meetings offered a chance to explain rules and issues to the entire faculty. teacher at Westwood, Mrs. Hinkle helps her husband with their business, Scottsdale Limousine. lt's not a 9-to-5 job, that's for sure, said Mrs. Hinkle. She and her husband have had the business for several years and it is doing very well, she added. Like any other business, it is a good opportunity to meet people, but it's also a big responsibility. Their limousines can cost anywhere from 560,000 on up, and they charge S35 to S75 an hour, depending on the car people reserve. Most of their limousines include the basics, she said, such as T.V., bar, compact disc player, VCR, moon roofs, and privacy glass. A few of the company's clients have included Mr. T, lohnny Lee, Mary Kay, loe Theismon of the Washington Red Skins, and Marcus Dupree from the Dallas Cow- boys. When asked if she liked teaching better than her business, Mrs. Hinkle said, lt's totally different. I like teaching, but when l'm helping my husband l participate in the whole bit, such as reservations, bookkeep- ing, accounting, maintenance, and some- times even driving. f Stacy Egan Mike Casillas, social studies teacher, meets with a parent during open house. Held the night of Oct. 21, open house gives parents a chance to visit their childrens' classes and meet the teach- ers. After a late-summer storm blew down part of the big tree just west of A building, grounds crew personnel had to spend the morning clean- ing up the mess.
