Acknowledgements

  I wish to thank my daughter, Daun Scully, 
who aims high and plans to graduate from
medical school soon, for her assistance
and support throughout the arduous task
of developing this web site.

  I also wish to thank Marianne Moody Jennings
for her barbarous yawp.  I am proud to be
her colleague and a team player on her team.

  I also wish to thank Diane Ravitch
for writing such a good book.  She thinks
with careful evaluation.

  I also thank the United States Air Force
for providing the finest public education
in the country.  Their program of education
for professional behavior results in a high
standard of professional and courteous
behavior in all its students.

  This high level of professional and courteous
behavior throughout the Air Force results in
a corporate culture characterized by safe and
orderly work and learning environments.

  The Air Force, whose philosophy is holistic
(addressing the students' educational, health,
financial, social, and professional development),
embraces diversity in its philosophy.

  Their high expectations of all their students
is expressed in their motto, "Aim High".
