Also, do check out the www.NIFL.gov website. I haven't see the Hours yet but just reread mrs dalloway in prep, can't find my copy of cunningham's book. We did see Adaptation and Chicago though--each really really good in its own way. We saw Chicago on stage in NY, with Bebe Newirth (sp) as Velma. I didn't really like it much but i loved the movie. I got my application for Campbell. now i'm processing the best timing and wondering if they want over-50's. the text seemed to be aimed at young folk. Please give Claire our best and please ask her to give Bill our best best wishes as well. I hope he is not in too much pain. I'll check back when I know some more on Campbell. Is Dusty in a serious funk right now or just feeling lethargic? She's a worse correspondent than I am! Love, Linda ******************************** Linda S. Potter, DrPH Family Health Research 56 N.

Develop a health and literacy lesson plan or learning activity that uses the Health & Literacy Special Collection. Teams in which the teacher and student(s) develop activities together are encouraged. Document your reactions and your students' reactions to the site and to the activities you tried. Revise your lesson plan or learning activity, if necessary, and submit a final product. Grant Benefits: Six grantees will each receive $500 stipends. Technical assistance as needed.
