<< Caty really loved NCSS --
 and you can bet she really wanted to go to Anaheim!  But we'll figure out
 other opportunities, I'm sure.  She was just selected to represent her
 school as one of six student ambassadors to El Salvador at during the first
 week of March.  She's thrilled to have been selected >>
Dear Martha, Tell Caty congratulations for me and I am envious.  You do
realize that she will never be the same?!  Not only will she have travel-lust
for the rest of her life (if she didn't already) but she'll have  special
memories of a place and a people that have touched her.  What a wonderful
opportunity.    On another subject, did the letters of invitation for next
summers fellows go out?  If so, I haven't got a copy yet and was hoping to be
able to make copies to pass out at workshops here so that interested teachers
could apply.  I leave this Thursday afternoon for the Florida League workshop.
If the letter is ready now, maybe someone could fax it to my school fax (407)
935-3519 so I could take copies to the workshop.  If not for this one, maybe
for the Social Studies conference Feb. 7.  If you are busy with your new
position, maybe you could forward my request to whomever should get this.
Thanks so much.
Laura
