Bob Albrecht (dragonfun@aol.com) is a writer and developer of science, math, and technology curricula. George Firedrake is his alter ego and takes the form of a dragon. Laran Stardrake, whose quotes sometimes lead off the column, is another of Bob's "accomplices." She's half-dragon and half-human. As Laran is fond of saying, "Reality expands to fill the available fantasies." Bob's graphic representation is from an original painting by Marcy Kier-Hawthorne.

Paul Davis (ctec1@mchs.srcs.k12.ca.us) is a mathematics teacher at Maria Carrillo High School in Santa Rosa, California. He was a happy, normal math teacher until he met Bob Albrecht and George Firedrake in 1992 and became another of their accomplices. Since then, Paul has been intertwingling math, science, and technology in his classroom with the help of Bob and George.
