Hi, Dawn Burnette:

Your program sounds intriguing and perhaps adaptable
to the college level, where I work.  But since your web
page doesn't include examples, I'm eager to see a few
specifics.   May I order one copy of the student workbook
for Grade 9 and one for Grade 12?  And if so, how much
will the shipping be?

Regards,
Carolyn Kirkpatrick
