Special Features
Although I have been a teacher of one kind or another for most of my working life, one of my consistent joys has been writing articles for daily newspapers.
Newspapers are read by just about everyone. They usually have more immediate relevance than most other kinds of writing. This web site has been organized to enable my opinion/editorials to be more generally available.
The book "Another Voice: Speaking About People," released in March 2005, is a selection of articles published in recent years. All proceeds from the book go to support "Every Dollar Feeds Kids," a program helping poor children in Mexico.
New articles will be posted here periodically. Readers will also find links to the primary organizations I support and to the great ceramics gallery of my wife, Barbara Miller.
Thanks for tuning in.
