Theresa,
Last week on a cold rainy night I was wandering around the endless trails of the internet.  I found some info re: legos and a connection to Lamplighter and you.

I  recorded your name and came in out of the rain.  The very next day Melissa [Melissa was in Theresa's choir for many years and bought a house across the alley a year ago] was in the computer lab with me and your name came up.  I reached for my  parchment and pointed to your name.  She told me of your remarkable talents and insisted I write, so here we are.
 
I visited your blog.  The picture is wonderful not to mention the contents. I'm a camera person, very nice image.
 
I'm working as a tech specialist at the [Melissa's school].  I'm very interested in lower school (kindergarten - 2nd grade) curriculum.  What is best for children, avoid the gaming environment, use of computers as a tool and not a TV.
 
Side bar:  I am a UNT graduate, began as a music major, was called to duty in the navy, spent the time playing in navy bands, returned to NT and found a home in the business dept.
