this is a story about the belief in each other that anyone can learn anything....TA, trading or anything else: During a Wyoming hiking outing in October 2004, I met a retired man who was hiking down the trail that I was ascending. In our brief visit, he explained that he makes an annual trek to the libraries of the Native American tribes in Montana and donates a pickup load of books each year. Prior to the trip from Minnesota he spends the year collecting the best books he can find at library book sales in his area. He believes that if someone reads enough, they can become an accomplished writer if they desire...regardless of education or credentials. He believes that we can teach ourselves anything if we have access to resources.
