Dr. Raymond Moore

Dr. Raymond Moore passed away on Friday, July 13th at the age of 91. He had suffered a stroke on Father's Day. He was widely regarded as a homeschooling pioneer. His early book, Home Spun Schools, inspired many parents who were not content with surrendering their children to the public school system. Some of these parents became activists in themselves and worked to change their laws, as Treon Goossen did here in Colorado. As a result, so many more children have been homeschooled, receiving a customized, thorough education that continues to shape their lives. Dr. Moore changed the world, and I'm thankful for his life.

Dr Moore was very important to those of us that stepped into the pool before the law said we could swim.

Tell Dean and Treon I said Hi. It has been a long time since CCE....

Because of Jesus, Bobbie
