MeToo !!! I love it when I come home after a tour to find the PO Box
crammed with dozens of drawings , posters, Letters

Does anyone else reply to mail?
Constantly ...
I  make a special point to follow up on every school who sends fan mail/
Thankyou letters etc.
Regular emails from students in Qld particularly after my recent tours are
quite common. In fact One boy has been sending me email for the last 7
months keeping me up to date with his local class an their latest web site
etc .
It's certainly a great way of keeping in touch with your audience
..Teachers realising the educational value in the writing an computer
excersise their students are getting are often  keen to encourage students
to use the net to do follow up work.
