Warren Odess-Gillett interviews Brande Watson. Brande’s father taught at Wiley College at the same time that Professor Tolson lead his great debate team as depicted in the 2007 movie, The Great Debaters, starring Denzel Washington. Brande describes how he became a Baha’i in Austin, TX in 1960. Brande dedicates this interview to the memory of “my dearest, beautiful wife, Evelyn (Breckenridge) Watson, whom I had seen in a most vivid vision in 1955 at a very low point in my life, but whose corporeal self I first saw in 1987. She passed away April 3, 2003 in my arms.” Brande’s list of accomplishments include: Listed in ‘WHO’S WHO OF INTERNATIONAL PROFESSIONALS’ vol 2 1998 edition, p. 1439, was national champion sprinter (100 yard dash and 220 yard dash) in 1952, college professor (International Business) at Central State Univ. and Antioch College in Ohio (also debate team coach), dean of the Louis G.

The Post Enviro Show Post #5

Just back from taking down posters for the VFR B-day Benefit that we canceled due to scheduling conflicts at Look Park (yes, the same posters i put up last week!). Toooooo bad, but since this enviro is a noted serial party pooper (prone to lurking on the outskirts of crowds or just plain not showing up) it actually works out for me. BTW, not all enviros are misanthropes, don’t get me wrong. Just because the human race is destroying the biosphere why should we hold it against our friends and neighbors, right? Some of my best friends may have four legs (or two legs and two wings, or eight legs even), but that doesn’t mean I don’t appreciate a well trained human being now and then ya’ know.

1) New Obscenity Policy

The new obscenity policy was reviewed.  The new policy distinguishes between intentional and unintentional obscenity violations.  It also allows for immediate removal of all programming privileges if the violation is malicious in its intent, but also gives space for an unintentional slip up to be removed from a programmer’s record after 90 days.  The policy will be reviewed at the next board Meeting–**Board please be advised and add this item to the next board meeting agenda.

The Return of the Wolf Enviro Show: 7/22, 6:30pm

Greetings Earthlings. It’s Koyanaskatsi, a world out of balance, thanks to industrialized human-centric society, but hey, we can evolve right?? Umm….right? Re-wilding, or reintroducing displaced species may be part of the solution. We have a conversation with Rob Edward, Carnivore Recovery Director for WildEarth Guardians. Of course we’ll always find time to bash Bush and the Empire, and checkout The Enviro Show Echo Chamber and Quote of the Week, as well as a call from Tom Neilson out on the road, but first it’s time for….Revenge of the Critters! We jump into the Wayback Machine for a tale of man and wolf.
