<p class=MsoPlainText><font size=2 face="Book Antiqua"><span style='font-size:

apologize for the belated reply. I did watch it and thought it was a wonderful opportunity
to bring adult literacy into the spotlight. For those who would like to view
the CNN clip it is online at:<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p class=MsoPlainText><font size=2 face="Book Antiqua"><span style='font-size:

the general public about the critical need for adult literacy in our country. I
realize it’s not every day that we have the opportunity to work with
celebrities; but there are many kinds of champions. I wonder what others here are
doing to nurture adult literacy champions in their communities?<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
