Adam Dorris
As an Oklahoma native and
dedicated Bartian, I know who designed the Price Tower, what Shin'en
Kahn was, and I've logged many a mile on the Pathfinder. I am a
left-handed Eagle Scout, and I have climbed mountains and sailed through
the Keys. I love the adventure of a great story, from the satirical
world of Terry Pratchett, to the sage words of C.S. Lewis. Fluxx is one
of my favorite card games, and Far cry is one of my favorite computer
games. I make a mean fried egg sandwich, and I can fix most things that
don't have motors. I'm working on the motors. My wife Rebekah runs
Jareds' Frozen Custard (stop by and visit) and My 18 month old son Clark
is currently in charge of domestic inventory and rearrangement. I love
learning and teaching, and I believe that life is an adventure that we
should face without fear. Only in the absence of fear are we ever truly
free.

John King
Mr. King graduated this past May
from NSU with a degree in English education. He is very involved in
church and youth work. He has been married for four years to a
beautiful young lady named Amber. According to Mr. King, "She
is absolutely the light of my life. She is pregnant with our first
child, and we have found out it is a boy. We have already picked a
name, Dalton, and are anxiously awaiting his arrival. We have a
less-than-potty-trained wiener dog named Elvis who keeps us from
getting carpet." Mr. King coaches the offensive line for the varsity
football team and has thoroughly enjoyed sweating it out with the
boys as he looks to improve and place Bartlesville among the elite
squads atop class 6A. He played college football, yet injury
and engagement beckoned him back to Oklahoma to finish school. He
has two sisters and a brother, and he is proud to say that he is the
least accomplished of all of his siblings. "I am very proud of them.
My mom is a music teacher and my dad is a youth minister, and they
are my heroes and the reasons I got into education."

Amy Viele
My passion for reading, writing
and teaching stems from my childhood. My parents have always been
voracious readers, and even now when I return home to visit them,
they greet me with articles from U. S. News & World Report
and a smattering of novels. I was raised on 40 acres on the
Arkansas River in Osage County, and I absolutely love being
outdoors. I enjoy camping, hiking, four wheeling and boating. It
is no wonder then that my favorite pieces of literature to study,
works by Thoreau and Emerson, incorporate the importance of nature
into their themes. I also enjoy reading autobiographies and
memoirs, my favorite being The Hiding Place by Corrie Ten
Boom. My husband Jim and I have two
daughters, a son-in-law, and one very spoiled miniature rat terrier
named Madison. My professional career began when I graduated
from Oklahoma State
University in 1997 with a bachelor’s degree in Secondary
Education/English, and I am very excited to be a part of the Pre-AP
English program in the Bartlesville Public School System.
