Who says summer is a down time? As to the posting from Francis Keenan, I would love to see more funding going to research. Unfortunately, from a local community-based nonprofit level, this is simply impossible. We are trying to serve our communities. We truly rely on universities and other research bodies to break ground in this territory. Pennsylvania has the Learning from Practice program, which encourages research at the program level, but I don't know if either PAARN or PALPIN has done any research on ABE/technology... Thanks for all your help, everyone!
