Patty Stotter and I were just inducted into the Shaker Hall of Fame thanks to Kenn Rothman who was impressed by the documentary we produced together, "SERVICE." We had a wonderful and very moving experience meeting other accomplished inductees from '63 to '08, and the vibrant Superintendent. We spoke to a class assembly and we were interviewed afterwards by students. I can't stop thinking about one question I was asked by the bright African American conducting the interview. He wanted to know if we had experienced the "bubble." He was referring to the diversity at the school and the conscious effort to create a race blind space of equality and support. The students are thinking about how they will face the world outside. On a lighter note, I made Patty sing a Sesame St song she wrote that all the students knew and gave her a warm applause for work.
Another honor--close friend and mentor Marlene Sanders was inducted into the same Shaker Hall of Fame class as Patty and I. I was able to introduce her to the current Shaker students and shared a piece of this memorial with them and I'm thrilled to share it with all of you.

Can't believe we were both at Wisconsin and didn't see each other. I have a cousin who moved from Oakland to Port Townsend so know both well. Glad you're still vibrant. Remember the Lipton chicken soup and peanut butter sandwiches?
Congratulations On Your Engagement and Best of Luck!
