Seems to be a lot of “following directions” lately. Lots of reading, making checklists, and asking for help as needed. Evaluations for Contextual Education.

I had the privilege to hang out with 14 seven-to-nine-year-old campers. I got to work with a fabulous group of counselors and counselors-in-training (

The AJC touted the march as “Atlanta’s largest anti-war demonstration in 30 years…” They also estimated about 2,500 people marched.
