He coached tennis, baseball, and debate, as well as directed chorus and drama. His devotion was ub literature, especially poetry. He would quickly tell anyone, however, that his best work was the three children he reared, who all became writers and educators.
Ellen Cowne spent forty years in education as teacher, principal, and assistant superintendent. Most of these years were enjoyed being a classroom teacher of English in high schools and junior colleges. Having published poetry in the English Journal and a book about the changes in education, Dick and Jane Don’t Live Here Anymore, she loves best this small book of poetry because it reflects the family’s lives and work with words.
Beatrice Elder (Beegee) taught English for seven years before going into school counseling. Her love for literature and poetry is surpassed only by her compassion for children—their education, their emotional well-being, and their physical well-being. Now working as director of child nutrition for the Food Bank of Northeast Georgia, Beegee’s pursuing a dream that no child would go hungry. While taking care of her three children, she writes in her journal and composes poetry.
Charles Elder (Chad) is a music man—a high school band director and elementary school music teacher turned assistant principal. He writes songs about his wife, who teaches special education, about his two daughters, and about political injustice. His creativity spills over into his woodworking, shop where he builds beautiful furniture, boxes, pens, etc.
Dallas Cowne is a high school English teacher whose philosophy of good teaching is to support every student in both academic and extracurricular activities. He doesn’t just teach literature but coaches students in the love of the written word. When he is not coaching tennis or cross-country or driving a school bus to after-school activities or enjoying life with a wife and two children, he writes both poetry and short stories to use as instructional tools in his English classroom.view less
