Stephen Fox:  

rd daughter in 1997. Our oldest is in her first year of college. My wife works at a small branch library and is working on her library science master's degree. We live in a historical neighborhood on the east side of Indianapolis and have many friendly neighbors. It's not an exciting city, but there's lots to do, the downtown has been revitalized, and like most places in the U.S., you can find people, places, and events that you like. I am a member of the local Green Party. It's difficult being in a third party, but the other two parties are so unresponsive to people's needs, so tied to corporate interests, and so full of themselves, that I see no good alternative at the moment. I know people shouldn't talk politics or religion--but hey, they are a crucial part of life, right? I teach writing and sometimes literature. I work with teachers of writing through the National Writing Project. Our website is: itwwp.iupui.edu It's a great program, and that's another passion of mine: education and educational reform. I seldom return to Atlanta, though my father and brother still live there (and run a small vending business, Foxie's). We usually meet somewhere else, such as Asheville, NC (where my sister lives), or a state park in Tennessee or Kentucky. But I was in Atlanta twice this year, once when my Dad was having bypass surgery and once when my mother died (in late October). The city has changed a lot, and so has Cross Keys and that neighborhood. I hope you all are finding inner peace, good relationships, truth and fulfillment. Shalom.
