Didn’t know you had a blog. And no, I’m not a blog stalker. I was looking for images of the Golden Eagles at google and your blog came up. Small world. Your trip looked amazing!

Hello David,

Thank you for your great blog! It is mentioned on p. 55 in the “special report” I wrote for this month’s American School Board Journal, published by NSBA. The reference is to Muzzy Lane’s “Making History” game. Could you reply to me with a snail mail address that the NSBA staff could use to send you a copy of the issue?

I love your quote:
