john evans for school board

our friend and neighbor carol hunter is managing the john evans for school board campaign against mitz lee. this is a city-wide election, so it's worth taking the time to understand what these candidates stand for before you vote. carol is a former san diego unified teacher and is a strong advocate for quality education in our community. after hearing john speak at a fundraiser at walter munk's house in la jolla this past weekend, i'm confident that he'd be a great asset to the board, which sets policy for sd unified. john comes off as a very intelligent, thoughtful person who will make effective use of his years of classroom teaching and the PhD in child psychology that he holds.



i've mentioned this before, but walter munk works at the same institute as i do - the institute of geophysics and planetary physics at scripps institution of oceanography - so i've had the chance to enjoy his eclectic residence near la jolla farms before. the fundraiser was held in the leafy front courtyard, which leads into the rectangular-shaped house and then abruptly to the backyard with views across a lush canyon to the ocean. a shakespeare play was about to begin in the hedged amphitheater as the sun lowered itself over the sea. a unique place for a unique candidate.
