Summary of Experience of Ron Price
​


Ron Price has been associated with the Baha’i Faith for fifty years. He has served on eight LSAs, in eleven localities and groups and published three books on the Internet. He has been an international pioneer from Canada to Australia since 1971 and served on more committees than he cares to remember. Some 6000 of his poems are in the Baha’i World Centre Library as is an autobiographical work of 800 pages entitled Pioneering Over Four Epochs. His poetry is also in more than a dozen journals and many local and regional Baha’i communities also have his poetry in their libraries.



Mr. Price, now 60, has a BA, B.Ed., MA(Qual Thesis) and four partly completed graduate diplomas. He has taught in 4 primary schools, 3 high schools, 3 universities, 2 colleges of advanced education and 6 Technical and Further Education colleges, mostly in Australia. He has taught Eskimos on Baffin Island and Aboriginals in the Northern Territory of Australia. He has published 150 articles in newspapers, magazines and journals with dozens of postings and publications at a host of Internet sites. He has held more causal and part-time jobs than he likes to remember. With all his successes--and especially his failures--he wonders why he is not rich and famous.
 
Just checking the reply process. This looks like a rely to myself but, since I've been talking to myself for years, this should be no problem:


PUBLICATIONS :LIST

It is useful for people to have some idea of what others have

published, if anything. It is not a crucial variable but, like

talking, it's nice to have one's voice heard when one writes. I will

list some of the items here. I think to myself: how come with all

these publications I'm not rich and famous? The diary is embedded in

here in different ways.

Thanks folks for your welcoming notes. I probably went over the top as they say in introducing myself six months ago. But I don't get to this site very often so perhaps a little excess now and then will compensate for the relative dearth most of the time.-Ron:eek:
 
Hi Ron - you reposted your CV here, but as you've already posted in the Introductions board, I've taken the liberty of removing your previous thread as superfluous and bumped your original post up instead.
 
You forgot to include a price list.... which is rather ironic given your name.:rolleyes:
