LSVI Photos from the old campus

This photo is of the front wall  where the words "Louisiana School for the Visually Impaired" used to be posted. Now it reads "Family and Youth Service Center". I have been taking these photos to share with grads and former coworkers on our Facebook group.

LSVI a Shot From the Old Campus


This is a shot of one side of the old Louisiana School for the Visually Impaired campus on Government Street in Baton Rouge. I worked there for 9 years. Now it is becoming a Family and Youth Center and the school has moved to the campus of the Louisiana School for the Deaf.  The lending library is still there so I try to take as many photos as I can for former students who were there when I was. We have a group on Facebook and they help us reminisce

Listening to Astronomy

From Fred's Head Blog at APH:
"Astronomy started out as a purely visual science, but with today’s electronics and techniques, you can also hear astronomy. It used to be that you to take classes, or else had to be in the right place at the right time to hear a lecture on astronomy. But, thanks to the Internet, there are many resources for hearing astronomy online.

Of course, you can hear astronomy information right here on this website, via the 90-second EarthSky interviews. You can also hear 22 minutes of science and music each week from EarthSky on the EarthSky 22 podcast."
