Thanks again for a great meeting. The young people working with me this summer are really excited about this opportunity.
It should be exciting.
Lyn Niemann is the tech person for CUPHD. I’ll contact him and let him know you’ll be in touch.
If you have suggestions about projects we can work on until our meeting on the 21st at 1:30 please let me know….

- From Lois Lowry’s Newberry Medal acceptance speech, 1994.
The man that I named the Giver passed along to the boy knowledge, history, memories, color, pain, laughter, love and truth. Every time you place a book in the hands of a child, you do the same thing.
It is very risky.
But each time a child opens a book, he pushes open the gate that separates him from Elsewhere. It gives him choices. It gives him freedom.
Those are magnificent, wonderfully unsafe things.
