Huh? I did say "evening class", didn't I? If I didn't, that must have been an ommission (sorry, don't have an Ada compiler to check my posts!) You don't need to be a tenured or tenure-track professor for teaching evening classes. Since regular professors don't want to teach those, many universities used to be willing to hire somebody from the industry who they thought will be able to teach at their prestige level. (And they would even lower their quality levels often, though I like to think this was not so in my case!)
