We owned, or were owned by, two pairs of Irish Terriers over a twenty-five year period.
The last two were Schooner, standing, and Kelley, sitting. All our Celtic pets were mindful of our Scottish, Irish, and Welsh heritages.

Experiences as Volunteers at the Goodhue County, Mn, Adult Detention Center

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Nancy and I volunteered at the Goodhue County Adult Detention Center RW Jail from April 12, 2002 until March 18, 2006. We found that some detainees could express thoughts and feelings by writing poetry. During Spring 1995, Nancy got up to go to the loo. She fell over our male Irish Terrier and damaged her face against the front, top edge of our dresser. As soon as care was stable, she returned to her library duties at GCADC. Deputy Gloria Boldt encouraged F Unit detainees to prepare a 9 in. x 12 in. welcome back card for Nancy.

On October 4, 2006, I sent a draft Letter-to-the-Editor of the Red Wing Republican Eagle, Anne Jacobson . It shares the good feelings I got when walking our two Irish Terriers along a particular downtown street. It also shares a view of them as they inspect a birdbath boulder placed in our wild yard by local developer, Jeff Lawrence. I used info from the 1962-63 Antarctica Field Season to make MySpace URL: http://www.myspace.com/crevassefield

The same info about Antarctica may be seen in a Tripod location: http://crevassefield.tripod.com/

In early November 2008, I updated a set of career pages. See http://mn_natura.tripod.com/careers/.

I contributed to an acoustics class for exceptional 4th/5th grade Red Wing Public School students, on behalf of teacher Gretchen Anderson. I took "acoustics" offline on May 14, 2009 to make room for wildflowers in http://mn_natura.tripod.com/our_wild_yard/
