The past several weeks have supplied no shortage of material that I might consider posting here. As several of my students pointed out last week, as they composed their collaborative letters to Petaluma's residents of 2066, we have much to think and worry about. Bryan Woolley, our inspiration for the task, who wrote his letter in 1979 to the future residents of 2029, felt much the same it seems. The writer of another letter, outgoing President George H. W. Bush (father to the second one), left this for incoming President Bill Clinton in January of 1993. It shows that civil discourse and behavior, and even kindness and decency, can exist between rivals.
