Dear WEdf:

Yippee! The magazines have arrived! It looks GREAT. Clearly a lot of time and care was taken with the layout, and the graphics have us spellbound. It is so good to see our situation and our work treated seriously and with respect.
Thank you!

Dear WEdf:

Congratulations on publishing such a powerful article ["The Equity Franchise"]. Please tell your graphic artist that she did a fantastic job. The layout folks also deserve a hand. Way to go combining form and content in such a solid presentation. Hope you and your mag get on the web soon.

Dear Wedf:

We are a centre which addresses interests concerning women and men regardless of race, class, religion, culture, age, family, sexual identity, or difference of physical or mental ability. We have a library which contains videos, books, periodicals and pamphlets. We are trying everyday to expand our resources and to obtain contact with other organizations like ourselves. We would like to gain information regarding resources for public education and would like to receive material that we could add to our resource selection.
Thanks for your time and effort.

Dear WEdf:

First off, my most deepest thanks for taking the time to reply to me during my darkest hour. The gift of information on violence in school is still being used, absorbed and conveyed. I am still awaiting a response from the police who were going to do a follow up. For my daughter, a brief respite. She wrote her final in the course and so will no longer have to sit in class with the boys who tormented her. I, for myself, find my feelings growing more militant and wish there were more straight answers regarding penalties, laws, etc.

I am glad when I hear of schools back east having zero tolerance to violence and wish the same would happen out here. I will keep you informed of any new discoveries I make regarding the law and violence in schools issue.

A future article idea that I would love to read would be about what the law can and can't do for young girls who are attacked in school. I would especially love to hear from a woman law enforcer writing on this point. Keep an eye out for such an article and print it if you can.

Again, my heartfelt thanks from me and my daughter as well. I am glad to share the company of other survivors but, as the saying goes, I wish we could have met under better circumstances.
