    logo_sedonamuseum2Sedona AZ (October 4, 2016) – The Sedona Heritage Museum’s publishing arm, Sedona Heritage Publishing, is proud to announce the release of their latest book, “Through the Camera Lens of a One Room School Teacher”. The small book is a collection of photos and annotations by Ruth Woolf (Jordan), created in 1922-23 while she was in her first teaching position at the Beaver Creek School near Sedona.

    With her little box camera, she captured wonderful images, but best of all, she wrote thoughtful and descriptive commentary on the back of each photo, providing insights into the place, people and time.

    20161004_ruth-jordan-schoolteacher-book-cover-onlyPhotos range from Soda Springs Ranch, where she boarded; to intimate shots while she cut hair for students; and general photos of the school. Especially insightful are her photos and remarks of students playing, on school field trips and performing in school pageants.

    While at Beaver Creek she met a Sedona orchardist, Walter Jordan, and married. Their home is now the site of the Sedona Heritage Museum.  A life-long teacher, there is a chapter on her later work as a teacher at both the Sedona School and Red Rock School, also illustrated with photos. 

    “Through the Camera Lens of a One Room School Teacher” is now available in the Museum’s Gift Shop.   

    The Sedona Heritage Museum is in Jordan Historical Park at 735 Jordan Rd in Uptown Sedona, AZ.  Hours are 11 a.m. – 3 p.m., daily.  For more information, call 928-282-7038.  sedonamuseum.org.

    What Would I Change?
    By Amaya Gayle Gregory

    What would I change if I could? You and I both know I can’t, but it’s a fun exercise anyway. I would have been less of a know-it-all on my spiritual journey. It seems to be a side-effect of the path. Spiritual folks develop an all-knowing buffer to protect against their inevitable surrender to the unknown, but understanding that now didn’t make it gentler on me or those I loved, let alone those that I deemed not capable of getting it 😉 Yeah … I’d have dropped the spiritual snob act. I’d have recognized that spiritual radicals are only different on the outside from radical right Christians, and that the surface doesn’t really matter as much as I thought. We are all doing our couldn’t be otherwise things, playing our perfect roles. I’d have learned to bow down humbly before my fellow man, regardless of whether I agreed with him or not. We’re all in this together and not one of us will get out alive. Read more→
