[Reading-hall-of-fame] Re: [EXT] Re: Frank Smith

[Carole Bloch]

Dear All,

Amidst all this sadness and loss, I am so grateful that we were able to be
informed and influenced by Frank Smith's work in South Africa too. It's
interesting to read David Olson's account of how he would not join any
groups or clubs, because his 'literacy club' metaphor has been so useful
here.

I wish you all the best as we forge on...

Carole
