"It's so refreshing to read information on the internet that sounds like I'm speaking to you! Your diary is informational and intellectual. Your sense of humor is droll and refreshing! . . . I teach fifth grade and what you are doing is exactly what we are studying in the classroom. I hope you keep this site running for many years to come. It provides a rich source of information for my students! I also admire you for your ambition to accomplish your dream. Through you, everyone will be able to catch a personal glimpse of each of the 50 states." --Fifth Grade teacher

"First I want to compliment you on your web page. What a great design! It is very clear, concise, easy to read and understand, and pleasant on the eyes. Second, what a great and original idea!

What a wonderful use of the web."--Single Mom
