[OSList] Education - the last frontier for OST?

[Suzanne Daigle]

Dear Paul,

I am not a teacher but have spent a lot of time with students and others
who are with students.  This RESONATES loud and strong.  Please do not
apologize for reiterating; some things need to be repeated often, they
reaffirm what we believe, they give us courage on the path, they invite
responses different or the same to explore.  After all, you may have
noticed our friend, the man with the hat, Harrison Owen repeats many things
quite often: *sit in a circle*, create a bulletin board, open a
marketplace, and go to work!!

With a touch of humor but on a serious note.  Thank you for sharing Paul,

Suzanne
