About Me:

I yam an olde Stargeezer with spirit age of 36 at age 64 trapped in a 75yr olde body with 80 yr olde knees

I am also 2003 a BUSHwhacked teacher who can no longer teach in USA because of the absurd NCLB Laws and because of my learning disabilities. I can not, at age 65 pass the required CLAD and CSET tests...

Iam an astro educ spec and planetarium and porta planet specialist and am working to try, with other vols, to bring FREE Astro, Earth and Space Science to all possible kids and teacher workshops in S.America. We are afiliated with Astronomers w/o Borders.

I also make and teach making SUNdials and I distribute the Walrecht Star Dial -with RA & DEC.

I am a ex 9 yr cruise ship astronomy "edutainer" and lead stargazing each clear nite at sea. BUT

I also choose to believe that the root help for our so troubled and materialistic, greedy society is education and the Planet and basic Astro is one of the best ways to teach about how small we are and how special we are to make better and saner choices to respect ourselves and our place in space and time.
