Judy-Thank you for another good resource. Say, I'm leaving school now so my
email address will change to sti4863@blackfoot.net for the next month. Then
I have been hired as a curriculum director for three districts in
Tillamook, Oregon. I can't wait to share all of the American Memory stuff
with these willing teachers, as I present in-services for them. Thanks for
all you goodness and expertise. Please let me know what I still need to do
with my AM teams. Thanks, Marta Brooks
