Douglas Wilson serves as a pastor for Christ Church and is married to Nancy Wilson, with whom he has two bananaheads and a married daughter. He has taught high-school Latin at Logos School and is a fellow of Philosophy at New St. Andrews College, where he teaches literature and theology. He is the author of Recovering the Lost Tools of Learning, Reforming Marriage, and Federal Husband. The flaming orange '72 Ford pickup truck, formerly known as "The Beast" or "Bill" after William of Orange (It is a good sturdy Protestant truck) has been retired in exchange for what ever he can get his hands on at any given time. He received an M.A. and a B.A. in philosophy, and a B.A. in classical studies from the University of Idaho. On top of all of this, he thinks the Maryland Flag (waving tastelessly above) is tasteful (really).

Chris received a B.A. in history (1990) from Washington State University. Now he teaches History, Theology, and Rhetoric at New St. Andrews College, and continues to teach the Apologetics course at Logos School.

Jim Nance received a Bachelor of Science degree in mechanical engineering at Washington State University, and is married to Giselle, with whom he has four children. He is an ex-skydiver, and he juggles, although not at the same time. In addition, he teaches logic, physics, calculus, and Bible at Logos School, and still has time to read Tolkein to his little ones.
Fred Kohl, who is now retired, received a Ph.D. in cooperative extension administration from the University of Wisconsin. He served as the assistant director of that same department at the University of Idaho. He drives a small, dull yellow, Datsun truck which he thinks is better than he deserves.

four daughters. He is a professor of Management Information Systems
and Director of the MIS Advisory Board at Washington State University.

Csaba is a missionary to the Ivory Coast, which explains the title of his column, Africanus. We frequently have difficulty communicating with one another, because of the droves of marching ants crawling through what little technology he has access to. This, of course, makes receiving his articles a special treat.
Gary Hagen
Descended from a long family line of pastors, Gary grew up
in New York . . . and survived. He earned his B.S. in business
from University of Minnesota and his Graduate Certificate in Business
from American University. Precision minded, he served a tour as
the graduate Naval Fellow for computer wargaming at U.S. Army
War College. He was recently headmaster (Executive Officer) of
the Naval ROTC Unit at University of Idaho, and Treasurer for
ACCS. Currently in exile on the island of Oahu, he is married
to Barbie the Beautiful who presented him 3.0 arrows for his quiver.
Said arrows range in age from 11.9 to 19.1 years. Not content
to drive antique Idaho rust-buckets, this Viking warrior-born-into-the-wrong-millenium
flies cool aluminum longships for Uncle Sam's canoe club.
