RE: Dr. Mayme Clayton
To the Editor:
Thank you for the wonderful article on Dr. Mayme A. Clayton who is a board member of the Fort Smith Black Historical League. She died October 13, 2006. She guided our organization with grace and style. Her family history and landmarks are still standing in northwest Arkansas.

RE: An Interview With First Lady Laura Bush On Literacy
To the Editor:
Here in Philadelphia, a group of Catholic nuns are tutoring immigrants from all over the world in English as a second language. They are housed in a 125 year old church under deplorable, depressing conditions, with no finances or support. Can you publicize this so people can assist?

RE: NYC Comissioner Martha Hirst Advocates
To the Editor:
Ms. Hirst, I am very impressed with your accomplishments and would like to comment on the focus on youth taking an interest in government. The athletes of the Flushing Gymnastics Program would like to return to the Queens Armory and not one legislator listens. These athletes are the ones people like yourself and Mayor Bloomberg should look to help. They are our future and your support and proof of how a true democracy should work would be nothing but a positive experience for them and this great city!

RE: Actor Ralph Fiennes
To the Editor:
This was a great article. Thank you for printing it. I had seen pictures from Mr. Fiennes’ interview and always hoped to hear or read what was discussed.

RE: Prison College Programs Unlock the Keys to Human Potential
To the Editor:
Very informative...I support these programs 110 percent. I think they are very necessary and this article helps to prove that point. When a person is brought up in a world of hopelessness they are almost guaranteed to fail; and if we can give them that glimpse of hope that they have never seen or felt, chances are that they will run with it and allow it to take them out of that darkness that they have called life for so long.

I am a student at Idaho State University and I am writing a report this semester on prison reform. Your article was excellent.
