Statement	Education is a vital foundation for a person’s journey in life. Critical thinking and open discourse is important even at a young age. I have participated in many committees and feel I could make an important contribution to the C-A-L school community. I love the idea of students being exposed to different vocations and trades via local businesses. Interests and hobbies: I have spent over 30 years studying the Sciences, specifically in the areas of evolution vs creation science, biology, environmentalism, astronomy, climate change and the history and high technology of ancient civilizations. I enjoy playing with “hot glass”: fusion and torch work.
