He taught in New York City and Long Island schools, rising to chairman, dean, and principal. He then wrote a dissertation on a controlled experiment in teaching writing and completed the requirements for a Ph. D. degree. He also was an instructor and associate professor in literature and composition at several colleges. Prentice-Hall issued his book Teaching Writing in the 1970s, and he had a number of articles published in professional journals.
After becoming a civilian again, Howard married a young woman who had come here from Poland with her family as a child; her many other kin were later murdered by Nazis during the war. The Piersons have two grown children, one a director of services for those with impaired vision, the other an elder care manager. In retirement, he studies birds and participates in the Nature Conservancy and a local Audubon society. He also edits a newsletter for retired school administrators and supervisors.lihat lebih sedikit
