This link tells the story of how I was quoted in the NY Times, but it was actually Harry Miller's quote: <a href="http://thedeliberateagrarian.blogspot.com/2012/12/" rel="nofollow">The First Time The NY Times Wrote About Me</a><br /><br />I know Harry stayed in the area and is a builder. He also taught at Sterling some, right? I worked in the building trades for 25+ years. Got my start right there in Carftsbury Common, as I explain in this blog post: <a href="http://thedeliberateagrarian.blogspot.com/2008/02/getting-started-finding-my-way-part-12.html" rel="nofollow">Getting Started And Finding My Way Part 12</a><br /><br />I've written numerous times about my year at Sterling. Here's one example: <a href="http://uplandgardener.blogspot.com/2017/03/my-best-memory-of-dirt-class-1976.html" rel="nofollow">My Best Memory of Dirt Class at Sterling College</a><br /><br />Yes, I remember Dave Link and Dave Brown. I met Bill Manning once. He was not much involved with The Grassroots Project the year I was there. Steve Wright was the director. What a great place to raise your kids!Herrick Kimballhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17116051416696885647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2676665452437949887.post-71745939994326784952018-04-26T13:15:29.826-07:002018-04-26T13:15:29.826-07:00I see that you have the connection to Sterling..I ...I see that you have the connection to Sterling..I was the nurse there from 1981-91..raised my kids on campus. Was the Harry you mentioned in your essay Harry Miller? If so, he's still in town and is a builder of houses. I think he's your age. What a small world..Sterling is still there though not what I remember. Do you remember Bill Manning, Dave Linck, Dave Brown?? craig majoroshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08579540688173975373noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2676665452437949887.post-78463748341234342952018-03-24T21:42:42.526-07:002018-03-24T21:42:42.526-07:00Elizabeth L.

The team outside was constructing. That's what I wanted to do. I watched a few youth having a hard time getting nails into the lumber. Being a general contractor's wife, I thought I'd give it a try. I like manual labor. It's my cup-a-tea. The young people who gradually walking away, giving up. I had never seen nails so hard to drive. It was awful. I blamed the quality of the nails. The lumber was only pine. I pulled many a bent nail out, and tried and tried and tried and got the job done; everyone was gone long before. Land's sake, I had to hit them like a man. Boy was it hard.Elizabeth L.

I was enrolled in the Texas state Technical institute, studying computer science. My dorm roommate twas studying welding technology. Man, was he green! <br /><br />I had been welding for ten years, but was self taught. Roomie was having putting together a 90 degree butt weld, so I stuck one together for him.<br /><br />The next day, he showed me the result of a destructive test, and sure enough,my weld broke right at the joint.<br /><br />His didn't break at all. (The instructor took ten minutes to show him what we were doing wrong).<br /><br />I stopped calling myself a welder after that.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14674345259245954995noreply@blogger.com
