Let's Do Lunch - Ben Blackhawk

Ben Blackhawk and I go way back.  He was a fellow founder of Providence Academy in Minnesota before which he worked at Saint Paul Academy.  A man of many talents, Ben is interested in music, drama, singing, history, artwork, politics, theology, literature, and most recently, Los Angeles. He has taught Euclidean geometry and worked with a colleague to craft and teach a mathematics course to Native Americans in the Dakotas and here in Minnesota.  Currently Ben teaches Latin and Math at Epiphany School in Coon Rapids, MN.
