Santa Barbara Local Education Hero
Santa Barbara’s Independent recently recognized Same Wake in their “Local Heroes” issue. After I read why they chose him, I remembered one of the many reasons I wanted to start this discussion blog on college topics. Mr. Wake is a true pioneer in education (adult education) and I saw it appropriate to recognize his efforts for my first blog entry!
Now 92, Sam Wake spent 25 years promoting the importance of adult education. He is quoted as saying, “It’s the most important education there is — no grades, no credits, no degrees — just the joy of learning.”

Thanks for your discovery of Sam. I just lifted this and will use it in my signature-line for my adult ed Email address for years to come. I am so lucky that I knew Sam Wake.
