No, you are think of Carolyn Taylor not Carolyn Stanford Taylor.

Strange. The WJS article mentioned 3 other schools but not JMM.
I’m curious. When was she principal of JMM?
I must say JMM has been fortunate to have some excellent principals. I don’t know enough about the current principal, who has only been there a few months. I still have a kid at JMM. My kids have had Bruce Dahmen and Jay Afeldt previously. Both were excellent. Both of them really cared about the kids, and it showed.
I still remember the emotional graduation ceremony right after Bruce Dahmen died. They made the graduation ceremony a tribute to Bruce. His widow, Peggi, gave out the diplomas. Quite a few students, including my son, hugged her when she gave them their diploma. Truly touching.

Yes, my mistake. I was surprised that she had survived ovarian cancer. Turned out that she didn't.

She did for a while. Our families are close. We grew up on the westside and went to JMM.
My dad went to bat with the insurance companies for Carolyn. They had said the cancer treatments had run their course and she was on her own. My dad was able to get her into an experimental treatment plan. She was able to live another 3 or 4 years.

In private, off the record and off site conversations with environmental advocacy group whistle blowers I was told in no uncertain terms that Preston Cole was the worst Wisconsin DNR Secretary pick since Cathy Stepp. In fact Mr. Cole was endorsed by Cathy Stepp and then re-appointed to the Wisconsin Natural Resources Board by highly partisan Governor Walker.
Since his re-appointment Mr. Cole continued to read, fain interest and even thank and ask questions (for that touch of legitimacy) then completely ignore, sound legitimate science presented to the Board. Time and time again he voted for corporate polluters, Walker contributors and business interests over the protection of our clean air, water and environment.
A high ranking member of the Evers/Barnes transition team told me that Cole had support from "South-East Wisconsin" and "out of state" interests. She didn't mention if the team consulted any legitimate environmental protection advocacy groups, independent environmentalists or accredited scientists in their vetting of candidates for the most powerful environmental position in the State of Wisconsin. Draw your own conclusions.
Mr. Cole should face no opposition from Republicans, who are licking their chops at this giant blunder, while environmentalists are furious. (including me, obviously)
