Rodman, Karl

Karl Rodman is a retired educator who now lives with his wife on Sanibel Island, Florida, where they raise chickens and he remains active in the local historical museum. Throughout his extensive teaching career, he taught all grades, from kindergarten through college. And for a time, he and his wife also directed a children's summer camp, as well as a neighborhood school-an experience he describes in his book "A School Named for Thoreau".

Rodman eventually went on to run a tour company that guided American teachers through the USSR. He went back to school, earning an EdD in Soviet studies,
