We focus on education through a lens that surpasses what we learn in school. We have stories about people doing amazing things to cultivate lifelong learning and to champion our thirst for wisdom. Reverend Anne Saunders was called to be a minister in the early 1980s. Her journey as a teacher, a wife, a mother, caretaker to her parents, and as a minister is one of profound faith. Barbara Lloyd McMichael writes about the launch of her pilot project “Tempests and Teapots” that explores lesser known facts in American Colonial History. Stay tuned for a presentation of “Tempests and Teapots,” coming soon in your neck of the woods. Our book review, How To Know A Person by David Brooks, probes how we can learn to expand our emotional intelligence by giving other people a chance to be seen and heard. Yonkers Historian Mary Hoar writes about prominent journalist, author and activist John Edward Bruce who is long overdue to receive a stone of substance.  –Patricia Vaccarino
