Thanks for the kind words Megan, and I will try and stop in to see you all before I go. Keep studying and working hard so that you can achieve your goals. You have so much potential!!!
To have a biography written in 3rd person is evidence of reaching a higher level. You are now on a higher level.
Hi Neil,
I don’t know if you remember me. I an an OT in the LCSD2 district and I coached your daughter in soccer and worked with your wife. I was just wondering if Hannah is still playing soccer and how Dianna is doing? I hope everything is going well. Your website is great.

Hi Neil,
I’m the current lead developer for Tux Math and Tux Typing (and a dad of a fith-grader). I notice you have links to older versions of our programs, but you don’t appear to have our current web site, which is:
http://www.tux4kids.com
We have just released new versions of both programs which reflect hard work by our Google Summer of Code students. Both programs have been very substantially improved.
Best wishes,
David Bruce
