(check Wikipedia)<\/p>\n<p>I was interested in documenting when I was and was not writing for the Reader. It turns out the dry spell in the middle was much longer than I recalled. This is the worksheet I drew up which showed me I was overestimating my total columns by about 50 to only about 300. Some I&#8217;ve lost track of. <\/p>\n<p>My review showed me I&#8217;ve also only filed for office 18 times not the 20 I thought. Also I discovered that I&#8217;d forgotten a bit of the history I have kept track of.<\/p>\n<p>This is the worksheet on Reader Columns with the glaring error saying I ran against Rep Tom Huntley in 2002. That was in 2000. I ran against Senator Doug Johnson in 2002. I obviously continued to write but made no comments about the campaign.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/65535\/53493726547_a43d7ef23c_z.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Here is a photo of four three ring binders I&#8217;d forgotten about. Two were about political campaigns which I placed in a folder although the other 16 have file folders in three 4 shelf file cabinets.<\/p>\n<p>The Fat red one is from 1997 when all hell broke out as the teachers Union tried unsuccessfully to kill Northstar Academy the Edison Charter School. All year I got into a long email chain with a woman &#8220;Laura&#8221; who was trying to get a charter school bill passed in Missouri. We shared our frustrations. When we hired a new School Superintendent Julio Almanza I loaned him the book to understand what had happened that year. I was only intended as my debriefing so he could understand the heated politics he would be facing over an issue he would have preferred could be avoided.<\/p>\n<p>The fat white notebook just above the Red one I&#8217;d forgotten I&#8217;d put together. For six months in 2000 I wrote School Board Diary which was followed for a short time by Politicians Diary. As I was trying to keep up with changes to my website www.snowbizz.com I was discovered this material had been lost but I had just heard of something called the Wayback machine that collected voluminous material and kept it on its own first of a kind cloud. I located these diary&#8217;s and printed them out.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/65535\/53494798583_048c0312f7_z.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Finally but not for the first time I took a picture of the shelf where these four binders stay. <\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/65535\/53495068800_bf0237e29b_c.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Starting in 1991 during my first school board race I began putting all my correspondence in binders until 2004. This is where I found these four binders. This is but a fraction of my written materials but it helps explain why I have a good memory.
