I am grateful for my family! I am married to Brenda, the director of My Sisters, Inc., who teaches domestic violence programs for incarcerated people, and has a full instructional program to mentor others who want to do this. We have three children, all of them now grown. Some old family videos are included in a promotional announcement I made for a class in children's spirituality. To see it, click on "children" in the left column.

As the kids were growing up, we used several different modes of education: public school, private school, and home school. I think each has merit, depending upon the abilities of parents, the personality and needs of the child, and the resources available locally. We developed curricula and other materials which may be of help to parents using any of the educational options. I'm also grateful for deep, long-lasting relationships with friends that I treasure. To view pictures and videos related to family and friends, check my facebook page, and for even more videos check my youtube page.

Here are a few other things that may be of interest to those who want to learn more about me. By the way, another hobby I enjoy is making web pages. The web pages on don.ratcliffs.net and almost all of the other pages linked here are my own creations--but I can't take credit for the YouTube and Facebook pages!
