Sandra Dodd

I love the internet, I love my website, I love history, and I love
the future.

Robyn Coburn wrote something once about her dad, who was a
professional juggler. I put it on a webpage, as a connection from
another juggling page I had, and linked it to the page where I
collect and link some of the best of what Robyn has written.

On Robyn's article "The Beautiful Park," I had an e-mail link so that
people could contact her for reprinting it. It's wonderful.

Luckily for me, that link was outdated. (It's fixed now.)

But luckily for me, Robyn and a guy in England whose name I don't
know, my address worked fine and I could contact Robyn.

Oh, and I love cellphones. I tried to call Robyn, called her husband
James who gave me the house phone number (I had saved cellphone
numbers from when I picked them up at the train station when they
came to Albuquerque for the Live and Learn conference)... and I
know I still haven't gotten to the point, but that's part of what
enables the excitement, is the very many things that led up to it,
most of which we'll never even know.

So I could talk to Robyn quickly; that was cool.

Here's the e-mail I got:

=====================================

Hello Sandra,

I sent this email to Robyn at the address for her I found on your
website, but it bounced. If you have a more up-to-date email address
for her, please could you forward it on to her?

Thank you,
Void

Hello Robyn,

I found your address after searching google for "Elimar juggler". A
friend passed on a VHS to me with this video clip on it:
http://www.juggling.tv/vaults/view_video.php?
viewkey=18cc9daa29cf58af7a00

I thought you would like to see it.

Best regards,
Void
==================================================

JUST TODAY, November 12, this guy had put up video of Robyn's dad
juggling.

Robyn had NO video images of her father. She has very few photos.
She was a little choked up and a lot happy.

You can get to all the other links referenced above from this, and
see the video clips too:

http://sandradodd.com/jugglingrobyn

The only link that comes up right now if you google Elimar juggler is
that page.
Soon, the other page will show as well.

I'm giddy. This is very exciting.

I love the internet also! I have met the coolest people online, I
learned about unschooling online, my DD is watching Nautro in
Japanese online right now as we speak! I saw John Taylor Gatto at the
Rethinking Ed Conference last August and he said...I am NOT
quoting...something like... the internet makes school obsolete! I
couldn't agree more! You can find the ALL the info you need about a
subject instead of just what someone wants you to know!!
Peace~Love~Free~

Had to add my praise here, I had never heard of unschooling until I
found it on the internet whilst searching for homeschooling info.
I couldn't quite believe it but thanks to the internet, the more I
read the more I wanted it for my family. Unschooling websites,
especially Sandra's gave me the confidence to take the step and I
have never looked back, just learning more and more. My daughter
(11) reads Wikipedia for hours at a time, one subject leads to
another, just because she wants to and, of course, because she
doesn't go to school anymore, she has the time.

Love it, and I love this list, thank you all so much.

Wow, things work fast. I'd never seen just one (or just 2) links on a google
page, so I tried it so I could see. When I googled it at 5:37pm, I got 67
links!

Peace,

But they're not about Robyn's dad. I meant links that were about
Elimar Clemens Buschmann the juggler.

It does. And just like a hundred years ago, when vested interests
believed the motor car would never replace the horse, the 'protectors
of the school system' will probably be in denial until they become
voices in the wilderness.

Or they'll think of other better things to do with schools and ways
to keep their jobs (or create other ones) while luring kids (and
adults, maybe) in to do COOL things, not locking them in against
their will.

There's an unrealistic dream, but a good one. <g>
