Kwesi,

It was really good to spend some some time together in Seattle.  Just the beginning.  Thanks for the beautiful article from the principal at Booker T Washington HS.  I've shared it with the extended IDEA team...

More soon,
Dana

Hi Kwesi.  Here says that we are now friends, but that's not true.  We are friends since Seattle or, who knows if, spiritually, long time before.  I hope we keep in contact and collaboration.

 

Un abrazo, Justo
