John R. Willey

John R. Willey was born immediately after World War II to a U. S. Navy pilot, Pacific Theater veteran. We lived the East Coast West Coast life until retirement. I attended the University of Florida on a football scholarship and was there with Steve Spurrier (as a player, not coach) and Jack Youngblood.  I attended the University of West Florida for a year and went on to Florida State University to receive my PhD in English. I have written many online courses, taught on military bases for over thirty years and hope to do so for many more.
