Breakfast with Champions
George S, Deborah J, Harry T, John K., Michael S in back, and Annie T, Patti S, and Randi K in front
A magical potpourri of some early champions (see photo) at ACS met at the Wyly in early November, to share stories about their tenure. We heard about:
-- Tents and soup kitchens on the mesa while building the school
-- Building the geodesic dome in a Physics Center classroom
-- Firing up the salamandar heater in the dome before classes started
(MS sound effects were especially impressive)
-- Pierre Wille stumping Dr. Schlockenhopper
-- Visit from the US Dept. of Education
-- The book "Teacher" by Sylvia Ashton-Warner and her tenure at ACS
We're working on posting audio files of these stories, and on collecting more stories.
Next up, a gathering for more stories, and to plan the 40th celebration and reunion October 8-9, 2010
