What are some jobs that Jerry Spinelli had? Do you consider any of these unusual? Did any influence his work?

I am currently doing research on authors - Jerry Spinelli being one of them. I would like to know some jobs Jerry Spinelli previously had, opinions on any job or jobs being unusual, and opinions on how or why you think some job or jobs may or may not have influence Jerry Spinelli's work. Any answers are greatly appreciated. I have a deadline on Monday, December 8, 2007, so please answer as soon as possible. I would also like some resources on Jerry Spinelli.

Try this. You may find it very very helpful for your research on the author:

He started writing at a very early age (still in high school). I don't know much about his previous jobs (I know he wanted to be a baseball player and a cowboy when he was younger). Much of the info he got from his own children, his wife (a children's book author), and everyday experiences.





Good luck!
