Gerald Pelitier will retire this year after teaching high school and middle school math and science at the Monticello School District since 1974.
Pelitier has taught at least two generations of students, and remembers Jenny Fahrney as the first of his second-generation students.
He also performs with The Word of Life music team, which has cut two CDs.
Pelitier moved from Monticello to Madison in 1980. At the time, it seemed like a good idea, he said, because he drove to church three times a week and there were several people who commuted from Madison.
He married his college sweetheart, Cathy, and they have two sons and a daughter, who all got married the same year. They now have six grandchildren.
If you could have one superpower for a day, what would it be?
To determine why some kids are totally unmotivated and be able to correct that.
What's in your CD player right now?
In my car, a CD I made (mixed) myself, and two of the songs I'm singing in.
What's the last good book you read?
"The Five Languages of God"
What one burning question are you dying to know the answer to?
What is it that causes Alzheimer's or mental dementia in old age?
What three famous people, living or dead, would you like to have dinner with?
Jesus ... after that I guess it doesn't really matter. Ronald Reagan and Mother Teresa. Did Mother Teresa eat?
What one thing have you always wanted to do, but haven't yet?
Sky dive. But I'll wait another 25 years, just in case my chute doesn't open.
What is the dew point temperature on the planet Vulcan?
The average, on the equator, is exactly 300,000 degrees Kelvin. At least that's what I was told.
