Out in the 
Mountains

Not Only on the Board, But a Reader, Too

Editor:

It is often the case that we take time to write papers to complain, vent, accuse or criticize. I am happy to report that this letter is none of the above. I have wanted to write for some time to express my thanks to Charles Emond for his monthly installment of "Stonehenge To Stonewall or Gay History In A Nutshell".

This is one of my favorite pieces in Out In The Mountains. Not only do I learn something each time I read it but it also makes me smile. I find Mr. Emond's humorous approach to presenting our history to be fun and informative. History is important to all people and communities, including our own and I am glad that Mr. Emond is one of my teachers. I haven't had this much fun with history since reading "The Cartoon History of the Universe".

Please pass along my thanks to Charles for his wonderful history lessons each month, and I look forward to his future installments.

Editor's Note and shameless columnist plug: Charles Emond will be teaching Hidden History: Homosexuality in Western Civilization, the course upon which Stonehenge to Stonewall is based, at Community College of Vermont in White River Junction this fall.
