Remembering Ira Geer

I first encountered Ira at the 1989 2nd International Conference on School and Popular Meteorological and Oceanographic Education in Crystal City, VA. I was appointed to the AMS Board on Schoola nd Popular Meteorological and Oceanograhic Education at the 70 annual meetn gin Anaheim, CA, which led to the origins of the AMS Education Program. Over the next few decades, I interacted often with Ira and others in the AMS Ed program. I would like to share my memories of a classroom teacher's experience with this imaginative educational innovator.
