A teacher at South Boston High School for 33 years, his specialty is marine science. A field trip approach has provided many of his diverse students with their first opportunity to discover the Harbor and Ocean through twice a year trips on board the Schooner Ernestina. Students get increased experience in meaningful lab and field work in spring by their once-a-week seasonal involvement at Leverett Pond (Charles River Watershed) in a Watershed Institute program of Boston College. Carl has taken his students to a week-long residential program on the Cape and students have provided crew for the tall ship "Spirit of Massachusetts" on four occasions. The picture above shows Carl and a student on board "Spirit" in 1991 (shirt one year old!)
