Check out the front page of the Wilmington Star. You have to register, it's free, before you can get to the article. But it's worth it! Too bad this class wasn't around where and when I went to school.[/url]

Met and talked with Dr. Johnson in Raleigh, nice fella who'd rather not be doing research at a Buffett concert,
if ya get my drift.
Interesting topic, but if I could humbly recommend a change..less classroom more field trips
