Keep up the good work Mel, this is what it all about, help the kids learn.
Now, time to beg again, If any of you have shell books you no longer use, I
bet the teachers would put them to good use, think about it, that shell
book you haven't touched in years, this might be the one book some kid
needs to learn.   John     Tennessee
