Unschooling Conference since its
inception in 2002, and can be found conversing with other unschooling
dads on the SSUDS

A private school, military college, and US Air

his wife, Kelly, for six years. Ben's personal favorite bumper sticker
on their car is "Question Authority". He loves music and film and when
he's not cycling the roads of America, Ben is lieutenant colonel with
the SC Air National Guard.
 Anne
Ohman's
first-born son introduced his family to this glorious unschooling path,
and Anne honored and celebrated him by believing him and following
him. And because of Jake's insistence on learning in his own
way, in his own time, he and his brother, Sam, and his parents have
since been joyfully growing and learning and Shining together on top of
their rural mountain in New York State. Anne is also
following her passions in her job as director of her own unique
children's library program. More of her inspiration
can be found at her Shine With Unschooling list, at scattered and
unpredictable conference appearances, and in various other publications
here and there, now and then...
