Yesterday, I sent this letter to the Tucumcari School system. As a mother, what more could I do to support our soldiers, my son, Tim and my son, Terry and their families then to teach for one year in Tucumcari and take Tim's class while he is deployed to Afghanistan. Here is the letter:
Good morning. I spoke with Sharon Holmes this morning about employmentwithin the school district.My name is Roberta Clark Stackhouse and I am Tim Clark's mother. I aminterested in working for the school district and taking Tim's class whilehe is deployed in Iraq.I am very familiar with Tucumcari as I worked and lived there from 1977 to1984 on KTNM-KQAY. After leaving Tucumcari, I got a college degree: MassCommunications with an emphasis in radio and television with honors andlacked only one class to have a minor in Sociology. I graduated inDecember, 1988. At the time, Tim was also at Eastern as well as his littlebrother, Troy. I felt I needed to "get a full time" job to assist insupporting my sons in college. While I was in school at Eastern, my other son was also Terry at Eastern prior to joining the Army. Terry is now inAfghanistan since December 26, 2008.I took a job at KBAS-KWST in Bullhead City, Arizona and shortingthereafter took a job as Special Events coordinator and later Director ofMarketing for Aztar Corporation. During that time, I also taught Speech101 at Clark County Community College in Laughlin, NV and took classes andreceived a certificate from Mohave Community College to be certified toteach communications for the Arizona Community School District.In 2002, I married again after many years and moved back to Iowa. Ireceived my salesperson license and now my broker's license in real estatein the state of Iowa. I have been actively selling real estate since thattime but feel that if I could come to Tucumcari, support Tim and supportthe Tucumcari School district by taking his class while he is deployed, Iwant to do that. My husband and I bought a home in Tucumcari about 3years ago on South 1st and continue to remodel that home. It will be our retirement home.I have completed my application through NMREAP and I am on their roster.I will be in Tucumcari May 7 and 8 and on to Albuquerque for Tim's yellowribbon (send-off) ceremony. I would welcome an interview at that time. If you feel it is necessary, I can come at any time prior to that time.I look forward to meeting each one of you and look forward to thepossibility of working for the Tucumcari School District.Sincerely,Roberta Clark Stackhouse319-631-2092109 Pheasant Run LaneWest Branch, Iowa 52358
