Kathy Rittiman
Olsen Elementary resource room
teacher Kathy Rittiman is new to the
Port Aransas School District. She
makes her home in Ingleside, but her
hometown is Sinton.
Mrs. Rittiman received her bache-
or of arts degree from the University
of Houston in speech therapy and
her master’s degree from Corpus
Christi State University in curriculum
and instruction.
Married to Chuck Rittiman, a
pharmacist, they are parents of three
children: Meagan, 8; Ross, 2; and
Meredith, 1.
Interests for Mrs. Rittiman outside
the classroom include her involve-
ment in a women’s service organiza-
tion, Epsilon Sigma Alpha Interna-
tional. She is currently District 3
president of that organization which
covers an area from Victoria to
Brownsville.
Getting her master's degree is an
experience Mrs. Rittiman will long
remember.
‘‘I began working on my master's
degree when Meredith was three
weeks old and Ross was only one
Annual school event
year old. I received that degree one
week after Meredith's first birthday.
I was away from home at least twice
a week and was always kept busy.
Looking back I wonder how I did it. I
was very fortunate to have the
support and help of my husband
along with his parents as well as my
parents."
Doyle Marek
Doyle Marek, industrial arts teach-
er at Port Aransas High School, has
been with the district for 29 years.
Besides working with industrial arts
students in preparation for UIL
competition, Marek also sponsors
student competitors in UIL number
sense.
A native of George West, Marek
earned his bachelor of science and
masters degrees from Texas A&I
University.
Hunting, fishing, woodwork, read-
ing and photography are his hobbies.
Marek said what is memorable to
him is teaching children whose
parents he also taught. "I must have
taught from 20 to 25 kids during the
past five years whose parents I also
taught. I better get out before I start
teaching their grandlrids!" he said.

Joan Frank
Joan Frank is entering her first
year with the Port Aransas School
District. She is resource teacher at
Brundrett Middle School. Though
she is new to the PALSD, she was in
the field of education for 14 years in
San Antonio, which is her hometown.
Mrs. Prank received her bachelor’s
degree from Incarnate World College
and her master’s from St. Mary’s
University.
She is married to E.W. who is self
employed. She enjoys boating, scuba
diving, fishing, swimming and sew-
ing.
A sailing trip in the Gulf will not
soon be forgotten by Mrs. Frank who
said one of her most memorable
experiences was "a 10 day and 10
night sailboat trip on a 42-foot
Morgan 300 miles out in the Gulf of
Mexico. The trip began in the
Florida Keys and ended in Port
Aransas. Being a member of a
five-person crew was the most daring
adventure I have ever had."

never simple." Oscar Wilde

Save money with a heat pump
for heating and air conditioning
You can lower your utility
bills substantially by using an
electric heat pump to provide
the heating and cooling that
account for as much as 65 to
70 percent of the electricity
consumed in your home. It's
a super-efficient device that
should be included in any new
house you build or buy. Or
maybe you'll want to consider
adding a heat pump to your
resent home to increase the ef-
ciency of your heating/cooling
system.
Although its name is
somewhat misleading, the heat
pump actually is designed to
keep you comfortable all year
long. It warms your house dur-
ing the winter and air conditions
it during the summer - and
does both more efficiently than
any other combination unit now
available.
What makes it so efficient7 the
heat pump simply moves heat -
a less expensive process than
making heat, as gas and other
convenbonal systems must do
CCNTHAL POYVfP AND LIGHT COMPANY
A Member o> me ( enuin end s<*/rn vWvl System
In cold weather, the heat pump ,
absorbs the heat always present
in outside air and transfers it in-
side. In hot weather, it removes
heat from the interior to air con-
dition and dehumidify your
home.
The heat pump is an especially
good choice for South Texas
because it performs most
economically in places with a
relatively mild climate. In the
area served by Central Power
and Light Company, a properly
installed heat pump can produce
at least 2Vi units of heat for
every unit of energy needed to
run it.
If you'd like more details, just
inquire at your CPL office. Well
oe happy to give you uuonna-
tion about heat pumps and other
devices that help you use energy
wisely.
