The UCAP School in Providence, RI, recently unveiled a new plague honoring Rob DeBlois —  founder, longtime director, remarkable human being, and my closest friend. It’s so heartening to know that, from this day forward every student who enters the school will be greeted by Rob.

I wrote about book Rob and the founding of his school back in the late 1990s — Against the Current (Heinemann). You can also read a shorter article I wrote for the UNH alumni magazine, or download and watch the excellent documentary, Accelerating America.
