I
always wanted to be a teacher.
Starting in 1962 and for the next
35 years I was Mr. Maya, public
school teacher, and proud of it!
Twenty-two of those years were
spent teaching in Gilroy, mostly at Gilroy
High School where I taught Drama from
1976-1994. I also directed and acted
in several productions for the Gilroy
Community Theatre and for South Valley
Civic Theatre. Those memories are
precious. Relationships with my students
and fellow actors are still intact after all
