Hi!~
Gee thanks so much Miriam!  What a wealth of information.  I will be
checking out all of it.  You can fax me at 302-831-6788.  I have just
moved to a new building, so if it does not go through, we just haven't
gotten it all together yet.
I posted my request to the ESL list only.  I wonder how it showed up on
the workplace?
Been busy doing lots of stuff - at least I am out of trouble!  You will
be getting a letter soon from me about the SIG and membership update
etc.  Barb and I also decided to put out information on what to go to
when at IRA.  She has repeatedly tried to reach Deb Young with no luck. 
When are you arriving?  I am trying to coordinate with Barb some type of
social thing (dinner or lunch out) with SIG members at the conference. 
What do you think?  We are trying to pull together, rally the troops and
get moving as best we can!
Hey while I have you - What about A Day in the Life of the Gonzalos
Family?  I have not seen it, (know the authors), but I was thinking it
may work especially with a class of hispanic background.  What are your
thoughts?
For my syllabus design and curriculum/materials design class I have to
critique a curriculum.  I decided to do Crossroad's Cafe - my professor
thinks that is a good idea.  I figure there is so much good stuff in
that series that I will have a lot to work with and meet his criteria.  

Well gotta run and get some sleep.  Thank you again so very much!  I
appreciate your help.  I am very fortunate!
See you soon,
Cindy
