HOUSE OVERSIGHT 028948 make future projects that much more likely. If I can keep this base sturdy at Harvard, refilling these coffers, I will be that much more able to keep working. I am also so grateful for the help you gave me in defining my project for Templeton, and, what help you have offered to give in bringing them around. I have, since Templeton turned me down, gotten funding to produce video on two of the poems I'd proposed to Templeton and to create, and test, that video in schools as I proposed. One of my partners in that project is Success Academy, where I could also expand my work with Templeton. And there are still other poems that may satisfy their character criteria more fully, including the third of the poems I'd originally proposed and that Joe Biden had agreed to discuss with me (on parenthood and humility). At this point, I'm gaining the platform and the name recognition to be an effective spokesperson for the foundation on building literacy and character in the schools. It really means a lot to me, all financial help aside, Jeffrey, that you are rooting for me and thinking about me. You push back a lot (as Larry does), and it's always annoying but I always learn.
