A small collection of photos and musings by Ronald C. Schoedel III (http://ronaldcschoedeliii.com/). Hi, I'm Ronald C. Schoedel III! It's great to meet you. One of my favorite things is meeting people from all over the world. In fact, it's what got me into radio over 20 years ago. I started my radio career free-lancing for little radio stations in various places around the world: recording ad copy and the like. I went on to work in broadcasting for over a decade. My last stint was managing a public radio affiliate in Alaska. Since then, I've worked in public health, become a practicng attorney and professor. I've been blessed to be able to have done a lot and to have been a lot of places. Life has never been better! More about Ronald C. Schoedel III: I am an attorney in Salt Lake City, Utah. I specialize in estate planning and business entities. I got into law (J.D., 2013) because I like helping people tackle challenges that seem too big or difficult. I'm an introvert by nature, but I love helping people. It took me many years to be able to do so, but I've caught the travel bug and now love going all around the world, whenever the opportunity arises. I am passionate not just about seeing new things, but also about meeting people from around the world. I am also a part-time (adjunct) professor teaching history and language. In this role, I often share with my students the importance of getting outside one's comfort zone. I believe world travel can be not only fun and interesting, but a force for good. As people meet others who are different, barriers come down. People begin to realize the "other" is not so different to themselves. Empathy is in far short supply in our world. We need more bridges, fewer walls. Americans need to get out more. We need to see the other side of things and try to understand what life is like elsewhere. Learning about other cultures and lifestyles has been a huge interest of mine ever since I got my first shortwave radio in the 1980s. Listening to viewpoints from around the world inspired me to get into radio myself, with the idea of trying to spread understanding and peace through the spoken word. I will try to share some of my photos and musings from travel on this blog occasionally. I appreciate you stopping by! Cheers, Ronald

A few weeks ago we visited the site of the last of the so-called Indian Wars, the campaigns carried on by the United States to rid the west of Natives who stood in the way of whites who sought to take ownership of gold, resources, and land wherever they wanted it. #bigholenationalbattlefield At this sacred site, a number of recreated tepees make up a true-to-history skeletal village that commemorates the hundreds of Nez Perce, including many women and children, attacked that August day. The battlefield site has a very solemn feeling to it, being as it is site of a great atrocity and the (unmarked) burial site of the remains of hundreds of innocent civilians. “If the Nez Perces be captured or surrender, it should be without terms; their horses, arms, and property...taken away. Many of their leaders executed...and what are left should be sent to some other country; there should be extreme severity, else other tribes alike situated may imitate their example [of not moving willingly into reservations far from their homelands].” - (The ironically named white supremacist general) William Tecumseh Sherman #nationalpark #nps #montana #nativeamerican #history #bigholebattlefield #teepee (at Big Hole National Battlefield) https://www.instagram.com/p/CEb5gkBh9fc/?igshid=1hkutupbz3478
