For his first career, Mr. Pizer taught instrumental music and conducted concert and marching bands at the high school and college/university levels. His early career began with Proctor High School in Utica, New York, then went on to such institutions as Wisconsin State University and Sacramento City College. During this career, he had four books, 26 articles and one technical manual published on teaching instrumental music.
Mr. Pizer’s second career began in the directory assistance department of New York Telephone handling traffic for New York City. He later transferred to the Residential Customer Service Center on Long Island. During these years – outside of work – he did research into early telephony.
Beginning in 1993, Mr. Pizer gave a series of lectures for The Association for Research in Telecommunications History during their annual meetings in Denver; Boston; Dallas; Wilmington and Kingston, Ontario, Canada. He was subsequently elected president of that association.
After retiring from what had become NYNEX, he and his wife moved to Florida. Besides becoming a member of the local golf club, he became the president of the local Association of Freethinkers and Humanists and vice president of the local chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union. The recent lecture topics he has presented include: “Complementary & Alternative Medical Modalities;” “The Historical Foundations of Our Constitutional Democracy;” “The Bible, The Founding Fathers & An American Theocracy;” “Censorship is Alive and Well.” He also presented a series of seminars for the Palm Coast Great Weight Loss Challenge titled, “Keys to Developing a Healthy Lifestyle.”view less
