Dear David,

I believe I have yet to thank you for the letter you wrote about Ken. I am
trying, much too slowly, to try to send out
a thank you to everyone who has emailed, sent a card or in other ways
contacted me about Ken.  In my attempt to let folks
know how touched I have been by their reaching out to me, I have discovered
some other RHF issues and wanted to ask
you if you have any similar concerns or thoughts.
ask y ou if you have any s. personal

I am so surprised to discover that Margaret Meek Spencer (who recently
died) is not a Reading Hall of Fame member.
 And when I check the RHF membership, I become aware that there are other
language/literacy scholars from the
London Institute of Education who are not in the Reading Hall of Fame:
Harold Rosen and Margaret are only two of other
possibilities.  I just thought I'd check with you before I speak with
Henrietta Dombey, who is a member from Brighton to join
me in nominating these two who I have learned so much from during my
career. Do you have any additional information to
add to my concerns. Also, I just thought of Michael Rosen as well.     Yetta
