Description
Did you go to high school? Did you want to go to high school? Or, God forbid, did you ever teach high school? Roofing with a Naked Lady is for you–perhaps it’s about you. During 30 years of teaching, Fred Anderson has found himself in hilarious, serious, and sometimes dangerous situations. In this collection of sometimes amazing but always true stories, Fred battles a falling barn, an army of cockroaches, an undercover superintendent, and teenagers wielding assorted powertools—and weapons. Fred Anderson has taught guitar, theater lighting design, leather work, metal fabrication, drafting, auto mechanics, wood-working, cabinet making, pattern making, and construction trades, and of course, roofing. His love of teaching is second only to his passion for writing and telling his stories.
