MNN local correspondent
Member since March 2009
Norman Kendall Bent III is an avid environmentalist who enjoys competitive running and exercise, writing, music, and nature's absolute splendor. Despite a rigorous life, Norman manages to keep his environmental, academic, and professional lives all in balance. Since late 2007, Norman teaches general education at the Logan Community Music School alongside the founder and director of the institution, his mother Honnie P. Spencer, MD, ATCL, LTCL. In 2007, Norman started the institution's environmental stewardship program, Ecomusic. He also attended The Weather Channel’s inaugural Forecast Earth Summit in Washington, D.C. to discuss climate change effects and mitigation. Nevertheless, he enjoys spending free time basking in the light of his Energy Star laptop and hot coffee while listening to a little smooth jazz.
