The queen b*tch and her ???? (my best guess is 'matron') trade brains
Hi Howard
I meant to write before but I have been in the hospital for 3 days. I got out last nite and boy it seems good.
It is hot out here. Every day so far it has been over 100 degrees. How is everything at the plant?

Dear Jim,
Here is that check for the Streetkids Fund... The questions I have are:
- Did (will?) Juan finish 8th grade - does he wish to continue to high school?
- When will they have a summer break?
These factors will help us plan the next payments! I so hope you will get back to take this down yourself! Tell Juan and Fredy (?) we all send hellos and all sorts of good wishes.
Take care,
Tish
PS - (name removed) is still planning on going 2001!
King Arthur is not for me.

Abraham Lincoln was born in Kentucky on February 12, 1809. Lincoln fough as a volunteer captain in the Black Hawk Indian War, in 1832. His first government job was when he was appointed postmaster at New Salem, Illinois in 1833. (He was elected severa times to the Legislature, Congress, and served one tern as Representative),
The Lincoln-Douglass debates occurred when both were running for the United States Senate. Stephen A. Douglass won the Senate fight, but later he lost to Lincoln in the race for the presidency. Before he was elected President he was one of the best known lawyers in Illinois. They called him "Honest Abe" in Springfield, Illinois, because he was always fair in his dealings with others. There is every evidence that he was honest with himself, too, since he worked and saved to better himself, and overcame the handicaps of a poverty-stricken youth.
I'd like to have a studio to continue doing the type of work I'm doing here when we move to New York. I think I'll be able to sell myself so I can some freelance consulting to make a little money to live on and support my studio. And, of course, I'd like to teach a little bit.
Allannah's been tutering college and high school students in math and we've been talking a lot about what helps people to learn. These discussions have got me thinking about how I taught the color class at Pratt and the many changes I'd have to make from the last time to better help the students understand and use color. I'm looking forward to really organizing my thoughts about color and trying to convey my ideas to students again.
Allannah's having a lot of trouble at the school here. The place is right on the edge of disaster. 'Way underfunded, lacking space and direction, and it obviously has a morale problem amoung the faculty. She wants to achieve a lot and is very demanding about that, but the teachers do not seem to want their students to set their sights too high. This seems to be part of the overall attitude here in Maine and Allannah has not only to study her tail off, but also has to fight that attitude constantly. If we would have thought about the school at all before she started there, we would have gotten out of here and made sure she went to a good school. But since she has less than two semesters to go she's got to stick it out.
I hope you both are feeling well and are having a good year with your classes at Pratt.
I'd like you to keep the photographs if you want them and/or can use them for anything. If you don't want to keep them forever, you can send them back to me or give them to me the next time I see you (which I hope will be soon).
Sincerely yours,
Martin
PS Allannah says hello to you both
