Dear Mr. Strahan:
I wish to express my appreciation to you for making it possible for
Mr. Francis Daniels to visit our schools this past week. Mr. Daniels
was in ten of our elementary schools to show films and to conduct
discussions pertaining to the metric system of measurement.
I attended his presentation at Southview and found the films, charts
and discussions most informative and helpful . He works well with
children and had a very positive response from the students. We
will be moving into the area of metric measurements pretty strongly
in the future and are very appreciative of Mr. Daniels efforts in
helping us to lay the ground work.
Thanks.
Sincerely,
/s/ Charles R. Waltz
Administrative Assistant
