A Chewonki education


Hank Stein, the bear hugger at right in this photo, is one of 40 high school juniors participating this semester in an educational program in Wiscasset, Maine, run by the Chewonki Foundation. The students live in summer-camp cabins, which they heat with wood they cut  themselves.. They help care for livestock and crops on Chewonki's farm, and they eat what they grow (along with food that other people have grown). Most of the courses they take have themes relating to the environment--Hank's art class, for instance, is called Art and Nature. I do not know what class , if any, the mud is for.

For the month of October this year, I'm going to try reviving the Good Morning photos. If you have pictures to share, or people to add to the list--of if it's time for you to get off the list--just lemme know.

Meanwhile, best wishes to all for a happy and healthful new year.
