The Hechinger Report

There are quite a lot of very long-lived former GA Presidents (I hope that's a good omen) but I think Norman may be the first to have reached the century. Norman's work on curriculum continues to be referenced in academic work, and many of a certain age (such as me) will remember using his white school textbook written with John Talbot White.
