| Personal History
 I grew up in the midwest (North Dakota, South Dakota, and Minnesota)
and then moved to Manchester, Connecticut. I received a BA in psychology
from the University of Connecticut (go
Huskies!) in 1973. I then moved to Seattle, where I received my teaching
certificate and M.Ed. from the University
of Washington (go Huskies!) in 1981.
My parents, Bob and Audrey Ahlness, recently celebrated their 50th wedding
anniversary. Here's a look at some of the festivities.
Congratulations, Mom and Dad!
I am a member of NARAS (the Grammy
folks) and enjoy voting on the Grammy Awards every year!

School Web Stuff
I have spent a lot of time developing the Arbor
Heights Home Page, on the web now for nearly
four years! In 1995 I attended an awards ceremony in San Francisco as
the only school nominated in the GNN Best of the Net Awards. Arbor Heights
was also the only school to make the semi-finals round of the 1997 GII Awards
Every Spring I spend way too many hours coordinating the Earth
Day Groceries Project, something I began on the Internet in 1994.
As a pilot teacher and contributor to Project Athena,
I frequently use the wonderful materials available there with my third graders.
I am also involved in an exciting new education project, The
Learning Space. |
Personal Web Stuff
Here's my favorite WWW link outside of education. If you are a
Windows or Windows 95 user, this place is a must see - one you will return
to again and again: Stroud's
CWSA Site.
I serve on the Education Advisory Board for Freezone,
a web site based in Seattle aimed at education and entertainment for children.
In
the summer of 1998, I traveled back to Ithaca, NY to take part in the wedding
of my wonderful sister, Kristin. Here's a look
at that wonderful event.
Finally, a link to a site I maintain for my lovely and talented wife Janeanne Houston .... |
