Dr. Wheeler served as instructor and administrator for 21 years in
California's public schools before he opened a private academy which grew, under his
leadership, from 70 to 1300 students. Many innovative programs were developed during
his tenure including a dynamic writing program for junior and senior high students.
This course entitled "EZ-Writer" is currently
marketed, providing the writing student the same kind of innovative and successful creativity found
in Code Quick.
He also
authored a histoical novel "Whispers of a Secret God," based on a story told
him by an African Tribal King that is available from the author and through
Amazon.com. Fascinating reading, it takes you to West Africa during the
years of the slave trade.
Dr. Wheeler became intrigued by amateur radio during his high school
years, thanks to an inspirational teacher, Tom Thorpe W7KYN at
West Phoenix High School. During his senior year he successfully passed his
first exam, built his first transmitter, and was named outstanding amateur of the year.
His interest and involvement in ham radio have continued for 50 years. However, it
wasn't until Code Quick came to his mind that he was able to master code to become and Extra
Class Ham.
