Johanny, so good to hear from you! It's exciting to get the communication going. Right now the leaders of a sustainability organization, the Campus Conservation Corps, are planning to help with (and hopefully eventually take over) blog management. They are the lovely and famous Chris Busch and Catherine Lamb. Woot! I'm going to invite them now. So Johanny, do you have any friends who have been WWOOFers? Put another way, have you heard of the World Wide Oraganisation for Organic Farming?

Hello blog! I apologize for this long hibernation. My plan right now is to start finding rising seniors at Westminster who will take over blog management for next year. While this does appear to be a classic case of shirking one's duties, I need to go ahead and find someone who will be at Westminster to manage the blog and interact with Westminster students. I'll let you know how my search progresses. In the mean time, please feel free to post anything you feel is pertinent to the blog's purpose. Again, one of the driving purposes of this blog is to simply get Earth and Westminster students talking. Feel free to post anything you feel like saying.

This is some information about me which is posted on the Westminster School's website.
"Kyle earned his B.S. in marine biology and chemistry Florida State University, and later did graduate work in fishery biology at Tennessee Technological University. He also earned a Masters in professional accountancy at Georgia State University while he taught chemistry at Berkmar High School. Since 1969, Kyle has taught at various public and private institutions including the Florida Institute of Technology, Kennesaw State University, Tennessee Technological University, Brookwood School, and Merritt Island High School, and has had several years’ experience auditing in the medical and transportation fields. He has taught at Westminster for 22 years and has been the science department head (1991 – 1996), co director of the Marine Science Institute (1989 – 1995), instructor of physical science, oceanography, physics, environmental biology, honors biology and honors chemistry, in addition to coaching JV boy’s soccer and Varsity girl’s softball. Kyle is currently the greenhouse manager for the science department, and a member of the Bolch ScienceTalk and Exploratorium committees.
