For the past three days and through next week I am studying the Cold War on board the USS Midway as a participant of the Midway Institute for Teachers. The USS Midway served throughout the Cold War and is important to the era. The directors, John Burns and Kirk Ankeney, have put together an "academic vacation" filled with multiple perspectives of the topic, and in-depth tours of the ship. Dr. Pierre Asselin, told us about doing research in Vietnam, Jerry Stern talked about his military experience serving in the Army during the Korean War. Our classroom is in a former berthing room. Our setting for this institute could not have been any better.
This experience is invaluable and makes me feel blessed to have been chosen to participate.
