Ruth abandoned her love of art to pursue a life in the US Army, LA police officer, and collegiate softball coach, but has since returned to that first love. Her most recent work is on display in Saugatuck, soon to travel to Chicago.
She offered to give back to her HS Alma Mater through an art workshop and was initially approved -- but a conservative new board then refused because of Ruth's background. Ruth quickly decided to speak up at the Board meeting and made a simple request: "Permanently withdraw my name from the Allendale High School Hall of Fame."

LGBTQ+ AND THE CLASSROOM: Gerry Crane and his partner Randy exchanged vows during a private commitment ceremony. By the next week, word spread that he had married a man. The gifted and once-treasured high school music teacher was suddenly disparaged and pressured to resign by powerful community members with tragic consequences.
25 years later, Christine uses her skills as an attorney and writer to publish a moving book that recounts the story. We discuss Gerry's leadership qualities and legacy. What are the implications for our school systems and how can we better empower LGBTQ+ students, parents, and educators?

"You have ALS" - Dave was shocked and adjusted upon hearing this diagnosis, but the events earlier in the decade served as his true "reboot". After 35+ years as an evangelical minister, he deconstructed and became an atheist. This wasn't the easy path, yet he learned there were others like him through "The Clergy Project", an organization who help other religious leaders who no longer believe in the supernatural, many of whom are harboring that secret.
He's choosing to "Die Out Loud" and "Carpe The F***'in' Diem." You'll hear a generous man making the most of the time he has left.
Thank you to listeners Jim Dells and Matt MacKellar for your questions, Carter Warden of Johnson City TN for your song, and Danny Pellerito for our show's theme music.

LGBTQ+ AND THE CLASSROOM: Gerry Crane and his partner Randy exchanged vows during a private commitment ceremony. By the next week, word spread that he had married a man. The gifted and once-treasured high school music teacher was suddenly disparaged and pressured to resign by powerful community members with tragic consequences.
25 years later, Christine uses her skills as an attorney and writer to publish a moving book that recounts the story. We discuss Gerry's leadership qualities and legacy. What are the implications for our school systems and how can we better empower LGBTQ+ students, parents, and educators?
Special thanks to Christine and others who contributed their voices to this episode: Jayson Luce, Luke Rosenberg, Michele Siderman, Ken Rausch (read by Jim Dells), and Jay Kaplan.

This starts with hilarity and then gets emotional -- Mark worked the largest fire in California History during a pandemic. Just before COVID, he was shipped to Australia during their hottest day on record to help fight dry fires of epic proportions. Weeks of pressure culminates into breaking down in front of hundreds of middle schoolers -- What happened? I'm proud of my Brother and you don't want to miss this.
"Shipped off somewhere... and dropped in the middle... and I am suddenly the weather expert for that piece of ground I've never been to... and if I'm wrong, they might be put in harm's way."
