Sounds like a great plan!  If there is anything I can do to help when you
get to it, let me know.

Bill,

We only have 8 documentaries this year in our area (I list the titles 
below). However, there are many exhibits! As an older college student 
(57) I'm having a ball!
I started college doing a secondary Social Studies emphasis, but because 
of a LD my GPA is just below the state standard. So I am a history major 
with a secondary emphasis in digital media. I plan on building history 
websites that secondary teachers can send students to for research 
purposes. I'll teach one way or another!

Linda

Individual:
"The American Railway Union and a Pullman Rail Tragedy"
"Doctors Without Borders Facing Tragedy Worldwide: Triumph in South Africa"

Group:
"The Life of Martin Luther King, Jr."
"Gettysburg: The Turning Point"
"Triumph and Tragedy: The Triangle Shirtwaist Factory Fire"
"The Black Panther Party"
"Triumph and Tragedy of Zoos Throughout the Ages"
"Evita: The Cinderella of Argentina"
