thanks to history/civics teacher Anton Schulski

If you wonder why I'm working hard with others to improve governance our country, and the world, it has to do with one of my high school teachers, from Morristown High, in New Jersey.
Anton Schulski was an amazing teacher. I still remember his very first lecture to our class. It was about how the history of the US would have been so different if the West had been settled before the East coast. Hope he reads your blog Craig. Happy to read about your inspiration.
Craig, I am glad I found your blog. I had no idea you were involved in the cause of improving governance using the principles from the Declaration of Independence, and the Constitution. So am I. Awesome. I hope I can help with this. Also, cool first name by the way. Signed Craig in Austin.
I had a fantastic 8th-grade social studies teacher – Robert Strong at Noe Middle School. We did "simulations" of historical situations, including one on Vietnam. This was in the last 70s! I got drafted but chose to apply for CO status – I had to write a letter explaining my position.
