[Oe List ...] Earthwise Learning Individual and Group Creativity Module

Tue May 3 10:50:36 CDT 2011

Dear Jim,

I have some great pictures of folks dancing up a storm that we took while
piloting the Series in Cincinnati "back in the day".  Donna Ziegenhorn may
have been part of leading that module.  I won't have access to my personal
archives until the first week in June when we return to Northern Indiana.
 Marge Philbrook might also be able to locate the files in the Archives.

Glad there is renewed interest in this venture and a way to track down its
history.  Judy
