Hard to believe I wrote this almost twelve years ago

Long before my blog I tried to blog. I did this at my website www.snowbizz.com. I woke up early today and started writing which led me to some research then some desultory perusing of old stuff I’d written. I found this just a couple days shy of its twelfth anniversary.

From a letter to School Board member Welty:

As a senior at Duluth Central High School I would like to say that Frank Wanner is one of the most interesting teachers I know. I do not appreciate your criticism of him. This type of behavior goes back to junior
high. No one will think less of him and do you really think that anyone would care about it at all? There have been many class discussions of your problem with Mr. Wanner. Please keep it to yourself. Really now, would you like for people to make websites on stupid things you’ve said? Some people just don’t get along and that’s fine. … You… have have an important role in this city. Set a good example…. Please show some maturity. I’m
not being mean or anything, so don’t go making pages on your site about me. I am just giving you advice… thank you

Whenever I’m inclined to think I’ve been too mean spirited in my blog its comforting to find evidence of a little fair mindedness on my part.
