Rochelle Frank , third generation native Californian, taught in elementary schools as a sub. One of her favorite activities was creating original teaching materials and sharing substitute teaching strategies with other part-time teachers. She also presented sub teacher training workshops at the Orange County Department of Education.
Upon retirement she moved to the Western Sierra Nevada foothills and wrote feature articles and humorous columns for local publications.
While working with her friend, free-lance photographer Linda Gast, she got the idea of producing a children's book using actual photos of a tiny owl. Their resulting book, "So What, Saw-Whet?" http://www.hummingbirdmountain.com/, is now sold in many nature centers across the North America-- especially in the areas inhabited by the Saw-Whet Owl. The two former teachers also have given a number of classroom programs.

Her postings on web pages have included assorted bits of humor and experiences related to substitute teaching.
Rochelle now often volunteers to instruct school groups learning about California history, and leads tourists astray by giving tours at at a local gold rush history museum: http://www.mariposamuseum.com/
in in the mother-lode country of California near Yosemite National Park.

I have spent the last hour reading your hubs, and still have miles to go :)
I love how you take the everyday, mundane things and make them 'new' again. You are truly funny and it's so nice to have such a refreshing view on things that we don't often give a second thought to. Most importantly, you are sharing your experiences and making people smile, and for that, I thank you.
