Learn Something New Every Day - Archie Green Was A Cool Guy

Hazen Robert Walker

Never stop learning is definitely one of my mottos (have a lot of mottos is another), life would get boring very quickly if you stopped learning.

This morning, via NPR, I learned about Archie Green who was a very cool folklorist, archivist, and activist of sorts. His signature achievement was helping secure the unanimous passage of the American Folklife Preservation Act in 1976, but he was just cool in general and Green would definitely have approved of my mottos.

Alas, Archie Green died this weekend at home in San Francisco at the age of 91.

Listen to the Morning Edition Obituary here, it's fantastic.
