Call - Letters to the
Editor
We have received a lot of emails
recently complimenting our staff,
suggesting material, and
inquiring about the future of The
Highlander. Here are just a few.
(Please let us know how we can

Email us your questions, comments
and suggestions.)
I am writing to
you for help in obtaining
permission to copy a portion of
the Baseball Almanac (World
Series) section to our server. I
am affiliated with a non-profit
educational organization named
Greenbush, which is located in
Southeast Kansas. Our schools,
the Community Learning Centers
and our sister program VPL
(Virtual Prescriptive Learning)
use a computer-based curriculum
software and additional
curriculum that is
teacher-generated. I am
developing a basic course in
Probability and Statistics and
find that baseball keeps
statistics about everything! By
using the resources available to
us on the Internet, we can give
our students a much more rounded
and exciting curriculum. We look
forward to incorporating your
material in our work. Thank you
for your help in our endeavor to
assist people in achieving a high
school diploma. - Suzanne, Step
Up Community Learning
Center
Suzanne, we are
honored that you have selected
our work to appear as part of
your Probability and Statistics
curriculum. Nothing pleases us
more than sharing the history of
our great National Pastime and I
can't think of a better forum
than the educational
community.
I loved the Amos Otis interview.
Can't wait to read this month's
with Jim Northrup. I sent out a
Christmas note to the players
that I know last December. I
added a story about how my (now
18 month old) son Cooper picked
up a signed Amos Otis card from
daddy's desk and how he won't
give it back. A week or so later
I received a baseball card from
Jim Northrup signed, "To Cooper,
Jim Northrup". That should tell
you what a great guy he is. Plus
he likes to talk baseball. - Joe

Thanks again Joe.
Your contacts and Harold's
interviewing skills have
definitely taken The Highlander
to the next level. Every time I
call one of these ex-players to
thank them for the interview, I
feel like a little kid again,
hanging over the infield fence
trying to get an autograph at the
ballpark. What a
thrill!
First, let me
begin by stating I am NOT a
Yankees fan. In fact I hate them.
I really-really hate them.
However, I do enjoy some of your
other articles (the non-Yankees
ones) and found your site through
a posting on our message board.
If you wrote less about the
Yankees, you would probably do
better. More of us non-Yankee
types would visit more often
since your other team stuff is
pretty good. Just a suggestion. -
Mark (Mets fan)
Thanks for the
compliment Mark... I think?
