I retired from full-time teaching in 1999, from part-time teaching in 2003 and from volunteer/casual teaching/work in 2005 after 32 years in classrooms as a teacher and 18 as a student.

Ron Price has been associated with the Baha’i Faith for more than 60 years. He has served on local spiritual assemblies in eight different localities and in eleven other localities and groups where Baha’is reside. He has published several books on the Internet. He has been an international pioneer from Canada to Australia since 1971 and served on more committees than he cares to remember. Some 6000+ of his poems are in the Baha’i World Centre Library as is an autobiographical work of 2500 pages entitled Pioneering Over Four Epochs. His poetry is also in more than a dozen journals and many local and regional Baha’i communities also have his poetry in their libraries.
