Information about Aiglon in the public domain

I had previously put in quite a bit of effort to the Aiglon Wikipedia site. However, the ad hoc nature of the input and changes being made to that site by anybody/everybody meant that my effort was sometimes wasted due to deteriorating site content quality, consistency, vandalism and "spamming".

Because of this and because Wikipedia is a bit "clunky" to use, I decided to provide something more consistent and user-friendly - so I have set up a Google knol on Aiglon College (click on the link to check it out).

You will see that I have included in the knol some photos and also details of Norman Perryman (pictured above), who was the Head of Art, Aiglon, 1966-73. He says that his lovely watercolour (it's in one of the photo albums on this blog) of Aiglon is intended to be used to generate funds for the school, and act as advertising. There is a picture of Norman in the Knol too. Thanks Norman!
