Re: Ennis Cosby's School

[Kelly Fish <kfish@INTERNETX.NET>]

I have been watching this thread and, again, am so impressed by this list's
almost endless ability to keep giving.

An idea I would like to add to these.  Someone else mentioned Ennis had
attended another school, I think perhaps Eaglebrook.  Maybe that person
could check back in?  In any event, I believe it is a school aimed
specifically at helping children with learning disabilities such as his.  If
this is true, perhaps some of the funding could also go to that school to
assist in a child attending who couldn't otherwise afford it, or for the
library fund...while these special private schools are very expensive and
work hard at having great and appropriate libraries,t hey also would
appreciate the assistance.
