The legendary Robin Lee Graham is doing a very different kind of sailing now than he was during his days aboard Dove. Emma Garschagen caught up with him in the mountains of Montana.

Where are we in the spiritual battle? Do we understand the virtues that are generally most necessary in the pursuit of virtue? So often in our day, we approach the spiritual life in a piecemeal fashion, gleaning from the writing of saints things that speak to our own particular sensibilities. But are any of these things going to help us address the dominant passions that we struggle with?  We cannot be lazy in the labors of the spiritual life. We are blessed to be able to sit at the feet of the great elders and those who speak from experience. And yet, as with so many things in our day, we would have things come in our own time and in the way that we desire. Christianity overturns our perception of reality. What it means to love, what is truth, all comes into view only through the person of Christ. The shape of the Christian life is cruciform – always involving a dying to self and sin, and rising to new life in Christ. We must cast off the old man in order to put on the mind of Christ. Lacking discernment we may find ourselves being guided by the demons and settling into mediocrity or the embrace of selfishness and sin that merely is an aping of virtue. --- Text of chat during the group: 00:14:14 David Swiderski: Father do you know any good books on vigils? 00:15:56 Sharon Fisher: Would it be instructions for a home vigil service?   00:17:50 Anthony: For the bibliography, cookbooks are important such as "From a Monastery Kitchen" by Bro.

On June 1, 2020, I had the rare opportunity to sit down and interview a WWII veteran--this was my second interview with a Greatest Generation veteran. Mr. Lee Graham was in the US Army as a Technician and discharged as a corporal (Technician 5th Grade). Mr. Graham was assigned to the infamous Sugamo Prison in Toyko, Japan which contained some of the worst war criminals of WWII such as Prime Minister Hideki Tojo who ordered the Batann Death March. The "Toyko Rose" Iva Toguri was also imprisoned in Sugamo when Mr. Graham was assigned there. The day after Mr. Graham graduated from high school in Oklahoma, he was in the US Army. Like most people who served in WWII, Mr. Graham humbly summarized that he just did what was needed for his country. He returned after 1.5 years of service to enter the natural gas industry in Oklahoma and raised a wonderful family...this is his story. To all those who served in WWII and beyond, thank you.

#352. Robin Lee Graham made history when he left California in 1965, at the age of sixteen, to sail around the world alone on Dove. He met his wife Patti on this epic journey, which he completed in 1970. The voyage was followed by a flurry of media and a difficult return to life ashore. The Graham's moved to Montana soon after the circumnavigation, where they built a life with their two kids, Quimby and Ben. Robin and Patti still live on Flathead Lake, where their close-knit family gathers often. Robin wrote three books with the help of Derek Gill: Dove, The Boy Who Sailed Around the World Alone, and Home is the Sailor. Dove was adapted into a Hollywood movie in 1974. Emma's mother, Lynn, sailed across the Atlantic in 1978, when she was twelve years old. Lynn had the first edition of The Boy Who Sailed Around the World Alone on the shelf beside her bunk, and spent their 26 day passage from Maine to Ireland flipping through its pages. Emma grew up with that same copy on her shelf, which sparked her trajectory towards sailing. In February 2022, 50 years after Robin's circumnavigation, Emma traveled up to Montana to interview Robin in person, in the house he built on Flathead Lake. The two sailors talked about Robin's early sailing days, his relationship with his father, his faith, and how he and Patti have built their life. -- Join the conversation on The Quarterdeck, 59º North's 'deep dives on the art of seamanship.'

This week on the Talking Michigan Transportation podcast, a conversation with two people deeply involved with recruiting, developing and training the infrastructure-building workforce.  Even before the pandemic-induced phenomenon known as the Great Resignation, employers in many sectors were struggling to find and retain employees. This certainly applies to the skilled trades. First, James Fults, who manages MDOT's workforce programs and recruitment unit, talks about efforts specific to department jobs. Later, Lee Graham, the executive director of the Labor-Management Education Committee for Operating Engineers 324 (OE324), who have been building in Michigan for more than 100 years, talks about their work. President Biden put a spotlight on the OE 324 training center when he visited earlier this month. Fults explains his unit's work is mostly focused on five general job categories that have been challenging to fill: transportation maintenance workers, mid-level engineers, technicians, electricians, and surveyors. Acknowledging that the pandemic exacerbated a talent shortage that already existed, he attributes much of the problem to a dearth of younger workers to fill the jobs of retiring baby boomers, a phenomenon now knows as the Sansdemic.   Fults also touts his unit's other programs, including the Transportation Diversity Recruitment Program, highlighted in the July 28 podcast. Later, Graham talks about his organization's years-long efforts in workforce development and training and the focus on expanding opportunities through programs like Access for All and the Detroit Regional Workforce Fund. Speaking about President Biden's visit to the training center, Graham outlines why he thinks the bipartisan infrastructure legislation is so important to Michigan. Graham and OE 324 talk to students as young as kindergarteners to develop an interest in construction and modern building equipment and technology.  Graham highlights the Operating Engineers work, on both sides of the border, to build the Gordie Howe International Bridge. He also talks about other high-profile structures, including stadiums, arenas, and downtown high rises, his members helped build. A stationary engineer offers a testimonial in this One OE 324 member profile video.  Podcast photo: President Biden visited the Operating Engineers 324 training center in Livingston County on Oct. 5, 2021.

Jeffrey Mosher catches up with Lee Graham, Executive Director, Labor Management and Education, Operating Engineers 324. The focus of the interview is around May which is Professional Trades Month. Why is it important to call attention to this topic? They also cover: Why are Apprenticeships – and Registered Apprenticeships in particular - so important to the future of our state? How does working with employers themselves make a stronger workforce? What about the impact of the pandemic on professional trades jobs? How does an apprenticeship training program compared to a traditional college path? As the Executive Director of Operating Engineers 324 Labor Management Education Committee you have a lot of experience with apprenticeships. Can you tell me more about the apprenticeship opportunities offered by Operating Engineers 324? » Visit MBN website: www.michiganbusinessnetwork.com/ » Subscribe to MBN’s YouTube: www.youtube.com/channel/UCqNX… » Like MBN: www.facebook.com/mibiznetwork » Follow MBN: twitter.com/MIBizNetwork/ » MBN Instagram: www.instagram.com/mibiznetwork/

Updated: June 10, 10:50 p.m. Artists are both at the forefront of change and critical to the preservation of culture. Often their work involves envisioning new ways of being in the world.

In this segment we spotlight a group of 800 students who are involved in an innovative, online game that is both teaching literature and aligned to the Common Core.

Gamification: It all started with an idea put out on twitter - “It’s Ironic that my tweets about creating hunger games online learning opportunity- is the way I feel about learning.” Lee Graham saw the tweet and started the #Gamifi-ED collaboration. Based on the Educurious “Hunger Games” module, we challenged ourselves to create an opportunity for her graduate students to take a pdf module and turn it into an open online networked experience. To add to the momentum, Vicki Davis, and her grade 9 class and Colin Osterhout joined our team - and #Gamifi-ED was formed. We all became gamemakers and took on different aspects of one giant intergenerational networked online project. Lee and Vicki worked with their students to create a rubric that evaluated serious games and created an creative commons licensed wiki full of student and teacher reviewed “serious games”. To help them, Verena organized an “Open Online Community”. Over two weeks, experts from around the world shared their experiences with the world through Google Hangouts. All of these webinars were saved as OPen Educational Resources in the #Gamifi-ED youtube channel. Finally, Colin introduced the students to Hunger Games simulations in Minecraft. Lee completed the project by challenging her graduate students to demonstrate their understanding of leadership and games by creating video “trailers” of new serious games. The project proved the power of learning through collaboration and inquiry in online networked environments. Everyone developed an appreciation of the potential of games in education.
