We would like to put together a power point presentation to present to the schools that would include interesting facts about street namings, buildings and people. Mike would work with David Malone in creating this work. This would be a preamble to a live performance about the Civil War which was written by someone Bill has contact with. This performance would be presented at Gary Wheaton Church. Mike will contact Bob Rammer, Ass't Superintendent of District 200 for directions on how to approach schools.
