    Gail- I just finished monitoring a Freeman Seminar at the Mansfield Center
    at the University of Montana. It is a teacher seminar designed to help
    teachers integrate Asian studies into their classrooms. I sent on your
    lesson to the teachers in the workshop. I appreciate the reference. The
    lesson looks fabulous. One teacher recently purchased a copy of <Under the
    Blood REd Sun> How do students respond to that reading? Any tips I can
    pass on to her? Thanks, Marta Brooks
    P.S. I have an interesting photo from the internment camp here in Missoula.
     If you want me to scan it, I'll send it along sometime. Also, some
    teachers at Target Range Middle School did a wonderful unit on the
    internment and I can find the Internet address of the project, if you're
    interested. They received national recognition. Most of the internees
    here were from California.
