I knew Ted and Beatrice when I was a little kid. I have a nice drawing of me on his lap and I had a crush on Beatrice when I was maybe 8. I beat Ted at Bocce ball and he got really mad, getting beat by a punk kid. But I was Italian and it was in my blood.

I was one of his students, and David Wagoner was my thesis advisor. I was blessed and miss them both.

I love this mad guy's poetry - the greenhouse poet!

I’ve always loved Theodore

Love Roethke's poetry.

I see myself plating a dish!!!! How cool!!! Oh memories! This was one of my best experiences ever! The sustainability aspect is definitely what stands out from other culinary schools! Amazing video!!

Lou was no slouch as a CLIMBER EITHER!

Enjoyed the poems and reading. I’m also a poet but my speciality is Japanese forms i.e. tanka, haiku, haibun, senryu, etc. I hope you don’t mind me sharing a I would like to sharing a haiku and tanka poem-the haiku a tribute poem to Bashō’s frog with commentary by the late AHA founder and poet Jane Reichhold who considered my haiku in her top 10 haiku of all time. I am truly honored. Here is my haiku tribute poem to Bashō,s frog and commentary. Bashō,s frog four hundred years of ripples - -Al Fogel “At first the idea of picking only 10 of my favorite haiku seemed a rather daunting task. How could I review all the haiku I have read in my life and decide that there were only 10 that were outstanding? Then realized I was already getting a steady stream of excellent haiku day by day through the AHA forum. The puns and write-offs based on Basho's most famous haiku are so numerous I would have said that nothing new could be said with this method, but here Al Fogel proved me wrong. Perhaps part of my delight in this haiku lies in the fact that I agree with him. Here he is saying one thing about realism-ripples are on a pond after a frog jumps in, but because it refers back to Basho and his famous haiku, he is also saying something about the haiku and authors who have followed him. We, and And kyoka: returning home from a Jackson pollock exhibition I smear paint on my face and turn into art -All love in isolation from Miami Beach, Florida. Al

Why, oh, why can we never get the production date?

Read his Villanelle and felt I knew his poetical name before I knew his poetry. His wife looks a lot like my aunt, and this soft portrait of the poet, fighting the cloudy mind, was warm. I heard his surname , sounding like a kind of Consonantal mine, on some the rocky Czech hill , just once. His fine featured wife, half seeing, said it: it sounded American on her tongue.

Very excited to have the acceptance into the college. Even more so the aviation maintenance course.

Thanks

Mr Roethke's wife seems absolutely great- a fine woman!

This is lovely. I wish the audience for poetry were wider!

I love Theodore Roethke. Thanks for this.

Real life. Great resource.

So good to see you and Diane again.

ty good memories

Beautiful

Thank you so much. What a beautiful insight into Roethke you’ve given us.

Whoever did that to J.P. ought to be smacked. Hard.

Thank you for this lovely documentary. It deserves far more viewers than it has received.

I am impressed by Michael Benitez speeches, I appreciate your activism. You’re inspirational and eloquent about your work. Your intelligence is important for our community. Thank you!

This is so interesting to see the poems read in performance by the writer. No standing behind a podium for Mr. Roethke!

Thank you so much for posting this

I graduated from SSCC Aviation school back 2002. I took A&P , ground school, and I also took an AAS in Aeronautical technology. I am missing my graduation photo. If any got them, kindly let me know. Regards Badr Abuhalil

The sustainability aspect is one of the major draws for me, as well as the affordability. I do wish there was a PT program for working adults.

Isn't this the same man who stole Bobo's head during the autopsy?

Very Good. Well Done SCCtv!!!
