Sorry to hear you are throwing in the towel, but I certainly
understand. I think things are about to change though. Moore

Department of Education is doing right now... re: Recovery
School District.

I am thinking things are about to start getting better in the
next year. Maybe I am a bit too optimistic, but I like Alaska
and have to hope that it will get better.
