3/24/08 I'm a recently retired school teacher with a passion for teaching geography. I have great ideas for a national geography education program. I would like to contact the author(s) of S. 727. My email address is: phildershem@hotmail.com Please respond. American young people as well as adults know almost nothing about geography. Phil Dershem
