About
Charles P. Riney has spent decades battling health problems, but through it all, he has refused to be average.
The longtime educator discovered he had lupus in 1984 when he spent a month in the hospital. Suffering from kidney issues, he took prednisone and gained sixty pounds in a single week. He was swollen everywhere, and his kidneys almost shut down.
He suffered his first heart attack during graduation day at Guilford High School in Rockford, Illinois, where he was teaching. Six years later, he suffered another one.
Despite his health challenges, he kept a positive attitude-even if a former student was shaving his groin area in preparation for surgery.
Join the author as he celebrates his love for education and a contagious enthusiasm for refusing to let health problems limit his prospects in A Guy Named Charley.
