I remember a long time ago after Columbine and Tom Mauser fought for his son Daniel who had been murdered.. He was a voice in the wilderness and vilified, but he keeps fighting.. This is a fight, good against evil. How can we allow this?

I was teaching at Smoky Hill HS on the day Columbine happened.

BTW, it's Tom Mauser, if you'd like to fix that.

Peace.

I spent the next 10 years at CSU, and then taught for four years at the University of Kansas and four more at CU-Boulder before moving to the University of Iowa this year. I left Smoky Hill, in part, because of the coming wave of standardized testing, but in retrospect, I don't know how long I could have lasted teaching journalism and English while also worrying about "active-shooter drills."

Oy. Hope all is well back home. I miss Colorado every day.

bursting at the seams. I've never seen it like this. Colorado became my home 34 years ago and I wondered why the whole world wouldn't want to live here. It' seems now they do.

That said, I still can't imagine living anywhere else, but will have to leave my mountain home at some point. Breathing is getting to be an issue.. Maybe the west slope.
