Ken Chapman describes himself as a political animal, and as a founder of grassroots movement Reboot Alberta, his evident enthusiasm for policy, process and even the occasional conflict clearly mark him as a member of that species. But the inclination that the lawyer and founder of Cambridge Strategies Inc. shows towards consensus building and reconciliation, not to mention his dedication to mastering new media, mark him as a more highly evolved member of the typically noisy and rancorous tribe. Chapman’s dedication to the public interest, both through his political work and his volunteer efforts, earned him the Queen’s Golden Jubilee Medal in 2004.
I have created this spot on the web to record some of the letters written by my parents to us, their children. Their letters / email communications have been a blend of many things derived from their experiences and from their extensive reading and interactions with people around them.
Though the content of the blog is purely personal messages relating to the writers and their wards, I believe they may be of use to others. I also believe that there is no thick boundary line between individual and social thinking. And it may also be not uncommon that social thinking becomes individual thinking and vice-versa.
I greatly appreciate various artists whose work I am making use of in making this blog.
