Dear MSA Colleagues, As many of us head into the year end holidays, it is with great pride and anticipation that I am pleased to announce the brand new episode of Every Rock Has A Story! Episode 83 <https://youtu.be/bMSIRKE9xbw> "Seeing Kilauea" <https://youtu.be/bMSIRKE9xbw> Featuring Kamalani Poepoe <https://youtu.be/bMSIRKE9xbw> https://youtu.be/bMSIRKE9xbw This is the first new episode after a 19-month hiatus, and it is really good! I hope you all tune in to watch and enjoy. This one is a little longer than previous episodes, running just over 20 minutes. It is still Rated-G and great for all ages, but I think the sweet spot for the audience here might be grades 4-8. In any case, please share this widely with friends, family, colleagues, and especially parents, teachers, and kids. No one is getting rich and famous from Every Rock Has A Story... but I really want folks out there to find it, watch it, and be inspired by the stories that rocks can tell... stories that can help bring us all together. We have done a lot of great work on this episode, and it has an important underlying message that I hope people will hear. I will appreciate all you can do to share it with the world! Three more episodes in the Every Rock Has A Story - Hawaii mini-series will be coming out in 2026. I continue to seek funding for future episodes beyond that. So stay tuned! Best Wishes for a Wonderful Holiday Season!
