South Dakota at its Best
September 4th, 2009
At the Maroney Rural Learning Center groundbreaking ceremony, Kevin Walker, President of the Northwest Area Foundation, quoted late 18th Century visionary William Blake saying “What is now proved was once only imagined.” Walker also noted that although brilliant, Blake was considered insane by his contemporaries for his unusual ideas and idiosyncrasies.
That quote resonated with me. When the idea of building the Rural Learning Center was first proposed seven to eight years ago, many people thought it was insane.
That’s why the Citi Foundation grant to the project was so affirming. And now, the Sioux Falls Argus Leader published an editorial titled “Howard learning center is S.D. at its best.”
Who knows maybe we are not so crazy after all.
