For a time she lived on one of the very primitive San Juan Islands that has no power or phones and is serviced by a local with a small plane and with private boats. Everyone is kinda nuts there. We have sailed near the Island (Waldron) and people always said not to go to close or you would be shot at! She wrote 'The Living' about the first settlers here at Fairhaven which has become now part of Bellingham. Very hard to read .. so much gloom.RGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02017190779860810318noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16542790.post-43831421798839862622010-12-03T01:19:47.399+00:002010-12-03T01:19:47.399+00:00Titus...

I had the one on the luna moth, and when he argued that the life of one stupid moth didn't matter, I actually started crying in class (that's still my favorite chapter). <br /><br />From that point on he selected TWO students each chapter. <br /><br />I taught that book again when I created a composition class for Forestry majors at one school. Then we spent a bunch of time outside, wandering around the school-owned forests, writing about what we observed. So much fun!Dr. Cheryl Carvajalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15323455180953109460noreply@blogger.com
