I got a written reply from Tom Cole, 4th district, concerning funding for NWP. He wrote that he voted to provide $21.5 million for the writing project for fiscal year 2007. I'm now on the E-mail list of several members out of my district as I tried to cover as many bases as I could. Even thanked the rep from Rhode Island, my home state, for his intelligent support. Their is a retired teacher out here remembering how hard these last few months can be for you. Keep your eyes on the horizon. That, of course, is meant metaphorically. Please don't trip on those pesky cracks in the road. Lillian Johnson OWP'81 ************************************** See what's free at http://www.aol.com.
