I am trying to ease into my new role as Historian without feeling any older than I already am!  This may be a way to begin.

On Friday, P David Pearson<https://www.facebook.com/pdavid.pearson> delivered the Jeanne S. Chall Memorial Lecture at the Harvard Graduate School of Education: ""Theory and Practice in Reading Comprehension: Reflections on a Half Century of Work." A video of his address is available at: https://www.gse.harvard.edu/news/15/10/watch-live-11th-annual-jeanne-s-chall-lecture  Congrats, David. A wonderful talk!!

Cheers,

Don

"Every  one of us is given the gift of life, and what a strange gift it is.
If it is preserved jealously and selfishly, it impoverishes and
saddens. But if it is spent for others, it enriches and beautifies."

-- Geraldine  Ferraro.
Acceptance speech at the 1984 Democratic Party National  Convention.
