« Reading Up On Wright | Main | Wisconsin Usonian Part 1 »
Author, Mark Hertzberg has posted a very different type of article on his weblog Wright in Racine. In it, he describes the importance of looking (and reaching) beyond the regular Wright-ophiles. Read about it here.
We'd like to hear from PrairieMod Readers: What do you think should be done to reach out as Mark describes? Give some feedback and who knows, your ideas could be put into practice!

My hubby and I have mentored for 11 years three now-teenage siblings in Milwaukee who are very, very poor. They had never been to Lake Michigan despite living less then 2 miles from the shore. Their universe was exceedingly small. A trip to Cedarburg one Christmas is still talked about 10 years later...they had never seen a farm field covered in snow. That vast blanket of still pure whiteness was nearly incomprehensible in their chaotic lives.
What I'm saying is, it is very simple to share your interests with children who have not been exposed to them. Sign up to be a mentor. Then do with these kids what you normally do...go for sushi, tour a Wright building, watch an old movie on TV...it's all new and interesting to them.
Our kids have also shown us many new and interesting things, as well. Mentoring is an amazing relationship. http://www.milwaukeementors.org/
