Hall of Honor |
|
|
|
No web site or text book is without errors. None can cover all the topics that teachers and students are interested in. I have established this Hall of Honor to recognize those who have helped in two different ways.
I have gone back through my old emails and have found quite a few folks worthy of these awards. I could not find some that I remember and I may have forgotten all about others. My apologies to anyone I have omitted.
