<DIV>Visionaries:</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I join with Melynda and Joan in welcoming Elder Alan Stout to Vision 2020. Always nice to have a new voice join the conversations. Tell us, Elder Stout, did Hurricane Charlie hit your part of Florida? Or are you a different Alan Stout than the co-pastor of Providence Community Church in Pensacola, Florida? </DIV>

<DIV><FONT lang=0 face=Arial color=#000000 size=2 FAMILY="SANSSERIF" PTSIZE="10">From the picture on your web page of what I supposed to be the interior of your church, you are fortunate to serve in such a, well, grand structure.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I note that the church website has a link to *Credenda Agenda*. . .so Doug Wilson's work is not exactly foreign to you, is it? I also note that your church website is linked to <FONT lang=0 face=Arial color=#000000 size=2 FAMILY="SANSSERIF" PTSIZE="10">Trinitas Christian School. <A title=http://www.trinitaschristian.org/abouttrinitas.htm href="http://www.trinitaschristian.org/abouttrinitas.htm">http://www.trinitaschristian.org/abouttrinitas.htm</A></FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT lang=0 face=Arial color=#000000 size=2 FAMILY="SANSSERIF" PTSIZE="10">Probably you didn't realize that Doug Wilson and a few friends started ACCS several years ago, or that its headquarters are here in Moscow.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV>If you are retiring from the Navy next year, as your biography suggests, you might be considering a move to Moscow. You'll find a school that is not dissimilar to Trinitas. Oh, except at Logos School, Robert E. Lee's birthday is celebrated - and it didn't seem to be on the list of holidays at Trinitas. Isn't that ironic? In Florida, where one might expect to find some nostalgia for that *noble* fellow, you folks overlook the opportunity to celebrate his birth--while here in northern Idaho (at least among some groups), there is a rather particular affection for neo-Confederate celebrations. Just a hint. You might want to bone up on Lee if want to impress Doug. Steve Wilkins, a close friend of Doug's--would you believe it?!-- preaches practically next door to you in Monroe, LA. He's written what I'm sure is a splendid little pamphlet called "The Sterling Nobility of Robert E. Lee. <A title=http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/1581823347/qid=1093153355/sr=1-1/ref=sr_1_1/002-1799745-5562442?v=glance&s=books href="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/1581823347/qid=1093153355/sr=1-1/ref=sr_1_1/002-1799745-5562442?v=glance&s=books">http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/1581823347/qid=1093153355/sr=1-1/ref=sr_1_1/002-1799745-5562442?v=glance&s=books</A></DIV>
<DIV>(The used copies start at $6.50--I'd go that route if I were you.)</DIV>
<DIV><BR>Once again, Mr. Alan Stout, welcome to our little chat group. Vision 2020 is an excellent source of information on Moscow. This is a wonderful town, with committed, concerned citizens and a vibrant and diverse population. And, while I'm sure you don't own one, just in case some well-meaning parishioner tucks a Confederate flag into your luggage, you might want to lose it before you get to Moscow. We're funny about that sort of thing--it doesn't resonate with the more thoughtful members of the community. </DIV>
