Dr. Dee Dickinson, founder of the New Horizons for Learning group. She's a long time friend of both mine and Dr. Terry Bergeson (Supt. of Public Instruction, State of Washington)and considered by many as an educator's educator. Located in Seattle, their current web address is:

Another terrific resource Dr. Bergeson has talked into relocating from Colorado to this State is Shirley McCune. She is a highly respected educator and has been developing an outstanding web site to assist learners at:
