©Kim C. Martin Photography CSU Long Beach (aka: "The Beach"): Established in 1949 by California Governor Earl Warren to serve the rapidly expanding post World War II population of Orange and Southern Los Angeles counties CSULB has grown to be one of the state's largest and most well-respected universities. At its inception, the institution was known as Los Angeles-Orange County State College. It consisted of 25 courses taught by 13 faculty members in two apartment buildings at 5381 Anaheim Road in Long Beach. In June 1950, the citizens of Long Beach voted overwhelmingly to purchase 320 acres (1.3 km2) as a permanent campus for the college, now known as Long Beach State College. The purchase price was nearly $1,000,000. Utilizing the new location, the school began to establish itself as a permanent presence in the area, and as a result its student enrollment grew rapidly.

Today, 7 April, is the feast of the 17th-century French saint, John Baptist de La Salle, who was canonized in 1900. In 1950, because of his life and inspirational writings, he was made Patron Saint of all those who work in the field of education. St John Baptist de La Salle inspired others how to teach and care for young people, how to meet failure and frailty with compassion, how to affirm, strengthen and heal. At the present time there are De La Salle schools in 80 different countries around the globe, and I myself benefited enormously from my LaSallian education in St Joseph's Institution, a school run by De La Salle brothers in Singapore. Above is a photo from a recent visit I made to a Catholic school in Essex.

The engaging story of Swann's experience growing up as a Southern Baptist homeschooled child from New Mexico earning her education at a highly accelerated pace. At the age of fifteen, she became the youngest student ever to graduate from Brigham Young University in its 111 year history. Her nine brothers and sisters have also been homeschooled and have completed their studies at a similar pace. Swann recounts her family's experiences with warmth, humor and affection in this poignant narrative which draws the reader into the Swann household and allows him to meet Alexandra, her brothers and sisters, and her parents, John and Joyce Swann. "No Regrets" is much more than a synopsis of the Swann's educational achievements, however. It is a story of love, friendship, perseverance, sacrifice, and the bonds of family. Totally unlike any other book whch appeared on the subject, the insights which this book offers will help every reader create an atmosphere in which his child can excel, whether in the home classroom or in the public or private school sector.
