"Whatever we learn has a purpose and whatever we do affects everything and
everyone else, if even in the tiniest way. Why, when a housefly flaps his
wings, a breeze goes round the world; when a speck of dust falls to the
ground, the entire planet weighs a little more; and when you stamp your foot,
the earth moves slightly off its course. Whenever you laugh, gladness spreads
like the ripples in a pond; and whenever you're sad, no one anywhere can be
really happy. And it's much the same thing with knowledge, for whenever you
learn something new, the whole world becomes that much richer."
-Norton Juster, The Phantom Tollbooth
Having been born and raised in Illinois, with a few Wonder Bread years in
Iowa, you're likely to hear words & phrases delivered in a strange accent.
I'm still working on how to pronounce Ashley. After getting a Bachelor's
degree in Psychology from LSU-S, I ran off and joined the Air Force. When I
left that, I was in Minot ND, where winter temperatures often spend long
periods below freezing (-40 keeps the riff-raff out). So I went back to
college to keep warm. This degree was in Earth Science Education, which
eventually brought me to CMM.
We're starting my 11th year at CMM and which is sure to be one of the best.
With my new dry-erase board and mounted projector, I plan to become even more
proficient in the tech world. (I may come to my students for help on this.)
I hope to spark some interest in you as we look at principles of Earth &
Space Sciences.
To keep me busy when not at CMM, I am owned by 2 cats - Rufus (the Grand
Siamese) and Molley (the Tortie rescued by 6th graders 5 years ago). My Mom
& I play Scrabble every chance we get. This past summer I visited Maine,
Vermont & New Hampshire, which means I have traveled to and done something in
all 50 states. And if it ever cools down here, I would love to play some
golf. Travel, movies, reading -- put it all together and Life is Good!
