Dr. Cummings started life in a small New England town in a family where public service was a rite of passage. “The paternal side of the family was headed by a Baptist missionary and educators dominated the maternal side,” he says. “My parents volunteered with half the nonprofit organizations in town and served on the boards of most of them.”
A Stanford and Ivy-League trained educator, Dr. Cummings was a public school teacher in Connecticut before coming west for graduate study. “The jobs were in the west,” he says, “so we stayed.” He raised a family and carved out a career in nonprofit work providing educational field study programs. Starting with a nature program in Yosemite National Park, he directed another site north of San Francisco before moving to southern California to become president o the Ocean Institute.
After building the Institute into a nationally respected educational laboratory, he spent two years researching and gathering materials for this book. He and his wife Sigrid live in Tacoma, Washington, where he is executive director of a nonprofit, citizen’s group advocating for EPA Superfund cleanup of toxic industrial waste.ver menos
