to our debut issue of E-lluminator. An illuminator, according to Webster's
dictionary, means one that enlightens intellectually or culturally or spiritually.
It is the goal of this publication to educate, entertain, and certainly
to encourage positive intellectual growth. This is Crews' first all
electronic email driven newsletter just for kids. It may be just
for kids but we think anyone will like what we present. The content
of our news service will be primarily web site we think students would
like.
Your input is vital to our success. We therefore welcome your comments and suggestions. Please address them to Rod Hames, sponsor.
