I agree, this...That letter is absolutely beautiful. I agree, this is an excellent culmination of all the things that we have been discussing in class. I have to echo Tim's sentiments.

Perhaps he could provide some suggestions or guidance on next steps / possible funding.<br /><br />Again, fabulous idea. Please let me know if there is any way that I can help!Catherine Caughellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07117233251303453543noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9147915236021621726.post-2945039012622298662009-11-11T19:19:26.520-08:002009-11-11T19:19:26.520-08:00I don't want to give that away!

If you could get funding I am sure there are a number of related projects you might do as well. Also, I have to know, did Gerald come home from the war?Tim O'Gradyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01278132920519749606noreply@blogger.com
