Welcome Back, Mr. Gibb

Russ Gibb is back "jumping up and down".

Russ Gibb is back "jumping up and down".

After nearly a six month absence, Dearborn’s Russ Gibb is back “jumping up and down” at his website, RussGibbatRandom.com

Mr. Gibb had to take a break from his website after undergoing back surgery. His recovery took longer than anticipated.

“Getting old isn’t for sissies,” Mr. Gibb said.

Mr. Gibb was my favorite teacher at Dearborn High School. While he and I share very different political views and agree to disagree, I respect and care deeply for him. There is never any ambiguity on where you stand with Mr. Gibb or what his thoughts are on any one topic. You’ll always get a straight answer.

Mr. Gibb launched his website in 2001, posting his rants long before the word “blog” was invented. He was still a teacher at Dearborn High School when he began his website, influenced to do it by his students. Mr. Gibb retired from Dearborn High in 2005 but he kept his website active and later added his own video web casts.

“I still feel I have a few good years left in me,” jokes the 77-years-old.

Good to have you back, Mr. Gibb.
