Welcome to Lenard Pinth Garnell presents Bad Poetry
The tower in the valley on the hill
(The community school is a unique place for me...
and this was a unique time...
badly written corny prose … sorry Rett ;-)
As I grow weary of the fires of the year
I wait for my mind to clear
I go
Where I learned
to be a different individual
was not be spurned
Into the center
where we all gather
young and old
On to the stage
where a man showed me
how to use my emotion and rage
Off to the side a dome
a model of a solar home
In the back a computer
that then cost more than a car
that has made me a living
…..thus far
Down the hill to a cabin near by
and a man that taught
for freedom to exist
the battle must be fought
Up the road to a Flying Dog
to a man who introduced me to a universe
that would eventually become brown uuuugh
To John, Rett, Paul and Paul ...all the rest
And the Community that makes some of the best
Happy 40th and many more too

a la Ashley Jones Tagatac
From the top all school photograph of the central area, the girl in the trash can on right making gorgeous moose ears!
Ashley Jones Tagatac. Brother: Adrian Jones. Attended ACS from inception at the Aspen Institute until the spring of 1973. Sylvia Ashton-Warner was there and taught her how to write on a chalk board. She included them in her book, "Spearpoint: Teacher in America." I am “Angela” or “Angelica” and Adrian is “Henry.”
stayed tuned!
More to come from Ashley!
