Name: Jerry Wilson
Home: Indianapolis
Education: BA in Biology from Franklin College of Indiana; MS in Science Education from Purdue
Occupation: Science Teacher, Newspaper ColumnistWilstar is the name of my home page and my domain name in cyberspace. It originated as a nickname given to me by my students.
I am a science teacher and have been, off and on, for more than 15 years. Once, after a period of absence for a couple of days due to the birth of my daughter, Shana, I returned to my classroom to discover that someone had written on the blackboard the phrase "WELCOME BACK WILSTAR" in big letters. I asked what that meant, and everyone just said it doesn't mean anything, that Wilstar was me. It was my nickname. And ever since then, most of my students began calling me "Wilstar." I still have no idea who wrote it on the board or what, if anything, it actually means. I do know that there was once a Norwegian tanker named the Wilstar. It survived one of the largest waves in maritime history!
I use Wilstar now not only for my Web page name. I even have a personalized license plate with Wilstar on it!
Wilstar.com is a family-oriented Website, but it's not just for the kids. There is no pornography here -- nothing even close -- but there are some adult-interest items, especially in the Over Coffee section and on my blog. This is an extensive Website containing a variety of topics, both fun and educational. This includes, of course, a Science page.
