    Judge on the Kansas Court of Appeals. Long involvement in children's issues. Presently am involved in early child literacy efforts. A group of us are organized under the name of "Read To Kids -- Kansas." Our goal is that every child in Kansas will be read to every day for at least 20 minutes beginning at a very early age. We hope to do this by pushing the concept of reading to children and helping to make books more available.

    Parts of these web pages don't work, & it doesn't matter where you come from -- for example there are two ways to get to "Success Stories", "Champions" and "Lessons Learned", but it makes no difference. Also, the invitation to see the Client pages, and what they're doing is also misleading, since some communities make use of passwords, effectively shutting one out --- It's like getting at invitation, but when you show up at the door, the door is slammed in the face. AND your feedback button doesn't work either. A MOST frustrating morning.
