Dawn has a great post listing various people who have been taught by "amateurs." I remember thinking how COOL it was when my homeschooled son learned about Thomas Edison...who was also homeschooled. :-)

And I also found it rather cool that Benjamin Franklin was something like the 10th son in his family. Boy, I sure am glad his parents didn't think, "2 kids is really all we can handle."

But that's probably another post for another time..... ;-)
