ABC MELODY MAKER. DSC: ACTIVE LEARNING. ACTIVE LIFESTYLE! SUN RIVER. ACTIVE LIFESTYLE. DO WE HAVE A MATCH? ONE COLLABORATIVE EFFORT, BETWEEN KEY PLAYERS, IN THE COMMUNITY, SAVED LIVES IN AFGHANISTAN: (1) GREAT DECISIONS, PBS, RETIRED FEMALE PROFESSORS AND SIGNIFICANT OTHERS, MET TWICE WEEKLY AT THE WASHINGTON COUNTY LIBRARY, BACK IN 2009, JUST AS PRESIDENT OBAMA WAS MADE PRESIDENT; (2) I WAS ASSIGNED THE DISCUSSION FOR AFGHANISTAN & PAKISTAN, AND ASKED THE GROUP, IF WE COULD NOT WORK TOGETHER TO WRITE A PLAN THAT WOUULD HELP OUR NEWLY ELECTED PRESIDENT, TO ANSWER CONGRESS'S QUESTIONS, ON WHY THEY SHOULD AUTHORIZE MORE TROOPS TO THE FAR AWAY LAND, AND SHOULD THEY APPROPRIATE MORE MONEY FOR THE WAR AND PEACE KEEPING MISSION, IN THAT REGION OF THE WORLD; (3) I HAD NOT TOUCHED A COMPUTER FOR BASICALLY 9 YEARS, DUE TO BEING DIAGNOSED WITH A RARE BRAIN DISEASE, CALLED PICK'S DISEASE, WAS ALLEGEDLY SUPPOSE TO BE DEAD BY 2002, SO, I SIGNED UP FOR COMPUTER USE AT DIXIE STATE COLLEGE, BACK THEN, NOW UNIVERSITY, TO USE THEIR COMPUTER LABS, WHICH THEY ALLOWED THE PUBLIC TO DO; (4) WHILE ON CAMPUS, I WOIULD SEE THIS OR THAT, AND DECIDED TO PITCH IN AN HELP, WITH WHATEVER IT WAS--DUE TO THAT CONNECTION WITH THE COLLEGE, I WAS ABLE TO MEET, SEVERAL ADMINISTRATORS, WHO LEARNED THAT I HAD TAUGHT AT THREE OF THE STATES LARGEST UNIVERSITIS AND BECAME ACQUINTED WITH SOME OF MY WORK IN DOMESTIC VIOLENCE AND SEXUAL ASSAULT, IN ADDITION TO A WONDERFUL PRESENTATION, I USED TO MAKE, ON SURVIVAL GRAMMAR, AS A RESULT OF THAT, I DID TWO PRESENTATIONS AT THE COLLEGE, AT THE SAME TIME, I WAS MEETING WITH RETIRED PROFESSOR AND GOING IN ON DISCUSSION GROUPS, DEALING WITH WORLD AFFAIRS, WHEN I GOT ASSIGNED THIS SECTION ON AGHANISTAN; (5) IN THE GROUP OF RETIREES, AND I WAS YOUNG JOINING THE GROUP OF GRAY HAIRED VERY DISTINGUISHED PROFESSORS AND SPOUSE OF EQUAL NOTE, I DISCOVERED THAT, MANY OF THESE PEOPLE WERE WORLD TRAVELLERS, THEIR KIDS WERE OVER IN ALGHANISTAN, SETTING UP GIRLS' SCHOOLS, SOME HAD BEEN CAREER MILITARY, OR PILOTS WHO HAD BEEN TO THE COUNTRY, AND OTHERS, HAD READ MANY BOOKS ON THE SUBJECT; (6) WE ALL COLLABORATED, EVERYONE SENT ME THEIR INFORMATION, AND I WOULD TAKE IT AN FORULATE IT INTO A FOUR POINT PLAN, ON WHAT THE PRESIDENT AND CONGRESS SHOULD DO IN ALGHANISTAN--IT WAS AN AMAZING FEAT, AND TOOK TONS OF WORK, AND SEEING, I HAD NOT OWNED, A COMPUTER FOR 9 YEARS, AND DIDN'T AT THE TIME, THE COLLEGE GAVE ME, BASICALLY A CRYSTAL BELL, AND A COOL ENGRAVED PEN, AND ALLOWED ME FULL USE OF THE COMPUTER LAB, WHERE I WAS ABLE TO SIT FROM 7:00 AM IN THE MORNING, UNTIL MY OFFICE WAS CLOSED AT 11:00 PM AT NIGHT; (7) AFTER I COMPLETED THE FOUR POINT PLAN, A 7 PAGE VERSION OF IT, ENTITLED: AFGHANISTAN IS LIKE A TIGER: THE U.S.A. BETTER BE CAREFUL GETTING ON AND GETTING OFF! WE CALLED OURSELF THE ST. GEORGE THINK TEAM, NEVER LISTED OUR NAMES, AND WE FAXED THE PLAN BACK, DIRECTLY TO THE WHITE HOUSE, TO CHIEF OF STAFF, DAVID AXLROD; (8) AT THE SAME TIME, I WENT AROUND AND MET WITH SENATOR BENNETT AND HATCH'S AIDS, ALSO, CONGRESSMAN MATHESON'S OFFICE . . . MATHESTON, SAID, THAT THE 7 POINT PLAN WAS TOO LONG AND WOULD TAKE MORE TIME THAN BUSY CONGRESSPERSONS HAD, AND ASKED IF i COULD NOT MAKE IT JUST A FOUR PAGE PLAN, WHICH I DID; (9) AND AGAIN, I FAXED THE PLAN TO THE WHITE HOUSE, USING, THE DIXIE STATE FAX MACHINE, AND I AM SURE, IF THAT WAS PRESERVED SOMEWHERE, IN EITHER THE JOINT CHIEFS OF STAFF, OR THE WHITE HOUSE, THERE WOULD BE, THE TICKET TYPE, THAT YOU USED TO FIND ON ALL FAXED MATERIAL AND IT WOULD LIST, DIXIE STATE COLLEGE/UNIVERSITY, HOME OF THE PREVIOUS REBELS, THE THEN THE RED STORM AND NOW THE TRAILBLAZERS! (10) AN HISTORIC EVENT, LATER, IN THE YEAR, BOTH SECRETARY OF STATE, POSSIBLE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES, ADDRESSING THE "COUNCIL ON FOREIGN RELATIONS" SOON AFTER SHE WAS APPOINTED TO HER WORLDWIDE POSITION, MADE REFERENCE, NOT TO OUR NAMES OR THE GROUP, BUT ALMOST PRESENTED OUR ENTIRE PLAN, TO THE COUNCIL; I WAS SO ELATED THAT, I EMAILED OUR WHOLE TEAM AND NOTIFIED THEM OF HER MAKING USE OF OUR PLAN! LATER, PRESIDENT OBAMA, IN A SPEECH, TALKING ABOUT WHAT THE PLANS WERE FOR THE REGION OF MAINLY AFGHANISTAN AND TANGENTIALLY, PAKISTAN, HE, USED A UNIQUE, LINE THAT, I HAD PUT IN OUR PLAN, AND SO, I KNEW, THAT, HE TOO HAD SEEN THE PLAN!!!! SO, DIXIE, YOU ARE ON THE MAP, AND AS PER MY CONVERSATION WITH, YOUR DEVELOPMENT OFFICER, YESTERDAY AT THE ALUMNI HOUSE, OVER CAKE, JOHN BOWLER, DISCUSSING HOW TO MAKE A STUDENT READY FOR THE NEW WORLD ECONOMY, AND I AM NOT SURE ON THE TPP TRADE DEAL, BUT I DO KNOW, THAT, AMERICA HAS ONLY 5% OF THE WORLD MARKET, AND SO, IF WE ISOLATE OURSELVES AND CUT OFF, FOREIGN TRADE AND COMMERCE, LIKE TRUMP AND A FEW OTHERS WANT, WE ARE LIMITING, FUTURE COMPANY OWNERS, WHETHER LARGE OR SMALL BUSINESS OWNERS, FROM, THE FUTURE, TRADE, COMMERCE AND PROFITS THEY COULD HAVE OVERSEAS! BUT, WHAT I DO KNOW, BASED ON WHAT, WE WERE ABLE TO DO, WITH THE PLAN AND HOW WE WERE ABLE TO WORK, COLLABORATIVELY WITH THE COLLEGE, THE LIBRARAY, RETIREES, AND THE COLLEGE, GIVING ME THE SPACE, TIME, HOURS, AND FREEDOM OF THEIR FACILITIES, WE WERE ABLE TO CHANGE THE COURSE OF HISTORY FOR THAT REGION OF THE WORLD, POSSIBLY PREFENTING, MORE TROOPS, WORKING ON SOLIDIFYING GIRL'S EDCUATION, BECAUSE, THEY FIND THE MORE, EDUCATED THE FEMALES ARE, OR THE MOTHERS, THE LESS LIKELY THEY ARE TO ALLOW THEIR SON'S TO JOIN, RADICAL GROUPS, LIKE, THE TALIBAN AND AL QAEDA AT THE TIME, NOW ISIS! THEY HAD THEIR FIRST, NON-CORRUPT ELECTION, THROUGH DEMOCRATIC MEANS, TAKING VOTING BALLOTS, TO ALL, LIKE 356 OR SO, TRIBES AND STATES, ON DONKEY'S, NO LESS, AND WE THINK IT IS HARD TO VOTE! BUT, THE MILITARY WAS STRONGER THAN THE GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS AND PRESIDENT, SO THE PLAN CALLED FOR A FREE ELECTION, WORKING WITH LOCAL MILITARY LEADERS, IN BOLSTERING THE NATION'S OWN MILITARY, RELYING LESS AND LESS ON AMERICA, AND RATHER THAN USING OUR ARMY TROOPS, USING MORE COVERT OPERATIONS, LIKE SPECIAL FORCES, DELTA FORCE, CIA, WORKING SMARTER, NOT HARDER, USING FEWER AND FEWER MEN AND RISKING MORE LIVES, OF LESS TRAINED, YOUNG MEN AND WOMAN. YOU WILL NOTICE, THAT, IRAQ IS TILL AN ISSUE, WE WITHDREW TROOPS, THEN HAD TO PUT SOME BACK, AND COMMIT MORE AMERICAN LIVES; HOWEVER, IN AFGHANISTAN, WE HAVE HEARD VERY LITTLE, WE ALSO ENCOURAGED, INVOLVING THE TALIBAN, WHO AT THE TIME, BUSH WAS IN OFFICE, CONTROLLED, LIKE 3/4THS OF THE COUNTRY STATES OR INDIVIDUAL REGIONS, AND THEY WERE NOT INVITED TO THE G8 SUMMIT TO PLAN THEIR OWN COUNTRIES FUTURE! WE STUDIED THE CULTURE, THE RELIGION, LEARNED THE ISSES, THE PROBLEMS AND ADDRESSED THE PRESIDENT AND PRESENTED A PLAN, THAT FROM ALL, WE CAN SEE, LOOKS LIKE IT WORKED! THERE IS NO REASON, WITH THE "BRAIN TRUST" OF NEW TECH SAVVY MINDS, EAGER TO CHANGE THE WORLD, MAKE IT BETTER, SAVE THEIR COLLEGE MATES, FROM GOING TO WAR SOMEWHERE, OR IN WHATEVER AREA OF INTEREST, WE DON'T USE, THE OLD AND THE YOUNG, THE OLD FOR THEIR EXPERIENCE AND GUIDANCE, AND THE YOUNG, IN THIS COMMUNITY WITH NEW IDEAS, PASSION AND ENERGY, TO MAKE ANY ISSUE A CHALLENGE TO HELP, AND INVOLVING THE COLLEGE DEPARTMENTS, WORKING WITH THE COMMUNITY, TO DO ALL WE CAN, TO: (1) PROVE THAT "ACTIVE LEARNING" EXPERIENCE: (2) WITH AN ACITIVE LIFESTYLE WHICH OLD AND YOUNG WANT; (3) WORK TOGETHER, NETWORK, OLD SCHOLARS, MANY WHO TEACH, ON THE DSU CAMPUS, IN THE "ICL" OR "INSTITUTE OF CONTINUED LEARNING" AND PICK EACH OTHER'S BRAINS, MAKING CONTACTS, CONNECTIONS, INFORMATION OF JOBS, OPPORTUNITIES, VOLUNTEER SITUATIONS, INTERNSHIPS, AND OTHER EXPERIENCES, THAT THE OLDIES BUT GOODIES, CAN TELL THE YOUNG COLLEGE STUDENTS ABOUT! COMMUNITY, COLLABORATION, COMMUNICATIONS, COOPERATION, CONTRIBUTIONS, AND COMMITMENT, IS WHAT WILL PREPARE THESE DIXIE STATE UNIVERSITY STUDENTS FOR A LOCAL, STATE, NATIONAL AND WORLD, CLASS EDUCATION! ST. GEORGE IS ONE FO THE #1 RETIREMENT PLACES IN THE COUNTRY, BRINGING GREAT MINDS, STILL ALIVE, WELL AND KICKING, WHO WOULD LIKE NOTHING MORE THAN TO CONTINUE TO CONTRIBUTE . . . I MET A GENTLEMAN, TODAY, WHILE I WAS HAVING LUNCH AT THE SENIOR CENTER, WHO WAS FASCINATING, WHO WAS VISITING 100 COUNTRIES, SO HE COULD BE AMEMBER OF A 100 TRAVEL CLUB, AND THEN GO TO MORE COUNTRIES, HE WAS RETIRED MILITARY, WORKED IN PR OR PUBIC RELATIONS, MOST HIS LIFE, AND AT 75 YEARS OLD, HE SAID HE FELT BETTER THAN HE EVER DID IN HIS 30'S, HE FOUND SOME MACHINE, BASED ON HURTS, PROBABLY NOT THE WAY YOU, SPELL IT, AT THE PALM DESERT SPA AND GYM, ON BLUFF STREET! HE HAS A PASSION FOR GOVERNMENT, AND PROBABLY KNOWS A SHIT LOAD OF STUFF, THAT MIGHT SPARK SOME COLLEGE STUDENTS, MIND! WEEKLY LECTURES, ON WHO PEOPLE GOT TO ST. GEORGE, COULD BE A GREAT EXPOSURE OF THE TYPES OF JOBS AND WHERE THEY HAVE TAKEN PEOPLE THAT MIGHT AGAIN, SERVE AS AN INTEREST SPRING BOARD FOR STUDENTS! ANYWAY, JUST A SUGGESTION . . . . OH, THE REASON, I AM WRITING THIS, AFTER YESTERDAY'S EMAIL TO JOHN ON THE SUBJECT, IS THAT I HAD A BIZARRE, BUT VERY COOL DREAM, JUST BEFORE I WOKE UP THIS MORNING, OF A HUGE, LIKE MACEY'S THANKSGIVING DAY PARADE, PEACOCK, THAT STOOD, TALLER THAN THE BUILDINGS, DWARFING, THE REBEL SQUARE, BUT STANDING NEAR THE COMPUTER LAB, IF IT IS STILL IN THE SAME PLACE, I WONDERED WHAT HAPPENED THERE, AND I KNOW, THAT SEVERAL OF THE TECHIE TEACHERS, ONE THAT I REFERRED TO JOHN, AS BEING A GREAT RESOURCE FOR HIGH TECH INDUSTRY AND IT TYPE JOBS, INSTRUCTOR, IN THE COMPUTER LAB, IS SHE IS STIL THERE, I HAVE BEEN IN MONTANA, AND OTHER STATES, FOR FOUR YEARS, SO? BUT, I WONDERED IF IT HAD TO DO WITH HER . . .. ANYWAY, DIXIE COMPUTER LAB, YOUR ADMINSTRATION THAT KIND OF RESURRECTED MY CAREER, AS DID GINA,MERRELL, ALL HELPED, IN A PLAN, THAT COULD OR DID, CHANGE THE WORLD . . . AFGHANISTAN IS A CRITICAL "BUFFER" FOR OUR EUROPEAN ALLIES, FROM RUSSIA AND CHINA, AND HAS BEEN FOR A VERY LONG TIME, SO AN AREA, THAT, NEEDS TO BE STRENGTHENED AND PROTECTED! IT LOOKS, LIKE THEY ARE DOING A LOT OF THAT THEMSELVES NOW . . . IRAQ, WHO THE U.S., ENTERED AT THE SAME TIME, HAS NOT FAIRED SO WELL, IS ANYONE UP TO THE CHALLENGE TO FAX PRESIDENT O, AND NOW SECRETARY OF STATE, JOHN KERRY, A PLAN? THEY MIGHT USE IT AND I KNOW THERE ARE TONS OF VETS FROM BOTH IRAQ AND MAYBE NOT AS MANY NOW, FROM AFGHANISTAN . . . WE ARE ALL IN THIS TOGETHER, MAKE PEACE HAPPEN, LOVE IS THE ANSWER, NOT WAR! GOOD LUCK, ALL COLLEGE STUDENTS, TROOPS, AND ALL OF YOU, OUT THERE, WILLING TO BECOME PART OF THE SOLUTIONS, NOT BE PART OF THE PROBLEMS! GOD BLESS AMERICA, GOD BLESS THE WORLD . . . IN GOD WE TRUST, IN JESUS CHRIST WE ARE SAVED!!!!!!
