He was soooo a civics teacher--he sort of reminds me of one of mine, actually. I think his first name is Remus. :p
He's divorced. When he was in college, he let go and had fun. Like many short, odd-looking men, he was an attentive lover, and he charmed a pretty, earnest redhead named Lillian. She was in his math class, and he went to a couple of protests (the Vietnam war (is he old enough for that?)) with her. She was charmed by his brilliance and his love for her. They married after graduation, but she was disillusioned when he kept coming home angry from his high school teaching job. He hated the students, and he became obsessed with the rules. She divorced him when he accepted the principal job in Sunnydale, after years of quite misery. She taught writing and poetry in high school, and quit when she published a novel. She wanted to have a baby, and when she wasn't writing, she tutored illiterate adults and wrote articles about ecology and feminism. She started her second novel, and when she began to teach that reading class at the daycare, he couldn't stand it any more, and took the Sunnydale job. They parted, bitter, resigned (him), hopeful (her).
