Because I have no shame about this stuff anymore I emailed Lowell Monke today with a thank you and a note that I cited him in the last blog entry. Imagine my shock when he wrote back immediately.
To be included in an essay under a headline that pays homage to Pink Floyd and Albert Einstein is a great (and totally new) honor. Thank you for getting in touch. I am heartened that you pulled that particular item out of my article. Everyone else seems to ignore it, but I think it is really the key to changing the way we look at childhood and teaching.
Wow.

Heh, good for you. I need to start doing this kinda stuff more. I’m coming to the realization that everyone puts there pants on one leg a time, just like everyone else. Eroding power/fame structures in my mind really helps too.
That’s such a cool message. Now, how do we get ahold of Mr. Berry.

I figure, what’s the worst that can happen? Whomever you’re writing to doesn’t respond. Big deal.
I believe we’ll need to walk to the farm in Kentucky, if my read on Mr. Berry is right.

There = their in my first comment. Ugh. Most basic of mistakes. This is what happens when I don’t have my coffee yet.
