When we were in Grand Junction, Colorado I gave two talks at Colorado Mesa University met two dynamic people. Dr. Chad Thatcher heads up the outing program at Colorado Mesa University, along with a program called International Learning Adventures. One of his students was Nicholas Moore, who started a movement called “Stay Positive.”
I created a podcast about these programs that I linked to in one of my newsletters. Considering the strong correlation between “Be Happy” and “Stay Positive” I’m embedding that podcast for the first time on this web site. Please watch, these are really some remarkable people and programs.
Great post Kirk, WOW is right! I’m inspired and will make some calls and try to do some work in a similar fashion down here. The idea of Sustainable education is very powerful and I will be checking that out especially. I hope to share the video with my students next semester if you are okay with that.
Greetings Gwen,
Of course I’m fine with that. I can email you Chad’s email, but while he’s a tremendous ideas man, they have a second in command that takes care of correspondences such as that. Unfortunately, with a lack of foresight I never got his email.
Tangentially, how would you feel leaving a comment in the testimonials section about my talks at Fairmont? I’ve yet to receive any from there and I could use it for seeking college gigs in the future.
Have a great summer. Make sure you drop by while on your way to Vermont!

What beautiful smiles on such beautiful children.It doesn’t take much to bring on a smile. our American children could learn much from them!!!!!
Greetings Marcia,
Thanks for dropping by here! My whole family has gone on mission trips abroad and at home. I would say there is more similarity between poor children everywhere than between poor and indulged children of a particular culture.
