Carl Deuker

Carl Deuker was raised in Redwood City, California, the son of Jack Deuker and Marie Milligan Deuker. As a young boy, he spent many hours in the creek behind his house and in the wooded area west of his house. Mainly he kicked around with his friend Paul Garibaldi, looking for frogs and lizards and the occasional snake.

Carl attended the University of California, Berkeley during the heady days of student protest over Vietnam. Carl was an English major at Berkeley, spending many hours reading the classics and writing (bad) poetry and stories. He participated in intramural sports in those years as well, and was somewhat surprised to find out that he was, in fact, a decent athlete. Being free from coaches and fans allowed him to enjoy the games more. During his time at Berkeley, he especially enjoyed volleyball.

As an adult, Carl has worked primarily as a teacher, though he also has had some time in the newspaper business. He played basketball and taught volleyball for many years, but one-too-many sprained ankles forced him to give up both games. Carl still loves playing golf at various public courses in Seattle Carl's handicap at present is 12, which isn't bad for an old guy.

Married and the father of Marian, Carl taught for more than twenty years in the Northshore School District outside of Seattle at Canyon Park, Maywood Hills, and Shelton View.

Carl Deuker welcomes fan letters and will always write back. He prefers e-mail because he replies more quickly. [email protected]
