Mowgi Sculpture

The Mowgi sculpture is finished! Funny thing, the red-eye fix in Photoshop doesn't work on the Undog.

Having an Effect

On my recent 2-day visit (1000+ students) to Jefferson Middle School in Oceanside, CA, many of the students wrote thank you's. Sometimes you wonder if what you're saying is having an effect. Attached are a couple of letters that help answer that question.

Happy 234th Birthday U.S. Marine Corps!

To all the brave Marines stationed here and abroad, past and present, a very happy 234th Birthday!

Thank you for your service to our country, and for keeping us all safe.

The Gamadin Crew says Semper Fi!!

The link below will guide you to my dad singing all three verses to the Marine Hymn for my mother in 1941.

Enjoy!

Life Magazine on Google

Google Books has done it again! They've published every LIFE magazine from 1936 to 1972. Students, if you want to add a lot of WOW to your paper, check this archive out. The pictures are incredible, not to mention the ads. You won't believe what things cost back in the 40's, 50's and beyond. Check out your parents, or better yet, your grandparents' birthdays and see what was going on in the world when they were born. Amazing!

Here's a link for the August, 1969 special edition (pic above) on the first moon walk: http://tinyurl.com/ykndxal

The April 7, 1952 edition has movie star Marilyn Monroe on the cover, but if you look carefully up in the right-hand corner is an article: "The Case for Interplanetary Saucers" That was over 60 years ago! How cool is that? http://tinyurl.com/yfron3r

Put Google Books in your Favorites. It's a great resource for any time.
