Dear Teachers,
We will meet at the physics building, room 226, tomorrow at 9:00
am. The fossil
hunt is delayed until the May meeting.
You are invited to come to the session tomorrow and bring a
friend. We will
begin planning our summer sessions. We have several items of
equipment to train
on and then distribute the equipment to those participants who
have the required
training.
Have a great day.

Dear
Teachers/Participants,
I am updating the e-mail list to keep all informed about our
program. Some of
the addresses were changed and not forwarded. Thus, I am
sending revised list.
I would appreciate hearing back as to whether the e-mails are
working or not.
Thank you.
We will meet on May 5 for a field trip looking for fossils and
rocks in the Ft.
Worth-Weatherford area. Our regular summer program will begin
on June 25 and
end July 13, 2007. We still have some funds for tuition for
those who can be
admitted to UNT.
Have a great day.
Jim Roberts
