[CALIBK12] Great news on linking CA libraries to achievement

[Blanche Woolls]

Yes, congratulations, Dr. Doug. His students are going to have a field day 
calling him Dr. Achterman!!!!

However, the minute he has any adjustments cleared up and the final copy 
off to the North Texas State University, he needs to help us figure out 
how to get the information to the world. CSLA is just a beginning. The 
results must get to government officials, big business executives, 
community leaders as well as educators, parents, and students.

You make us all proud.
