Dear Thomas:

Its an interesting proposition having Min. of Health & MLA-Elect IV Edm.-Rutherford, Progressive Conservative Fred Horne himself going inII schools II raise awareness of mental health isuues. With my aspberger's syndrome or high functioning autism (which I use II help low functioning autistics to help make sure they are safe), I can appreciate how delicately Fred handled this matter in his press availability by being there in a classroom himself, Fred was there II tell students that they shouldn't make fun of any mentally challenged students, but instead try & get them the help they need through a teacher, or another trusted adult authoratative figure. Of course if you & Fred had appeared jointly in the classroom, it would have been  a more effective 1-2 punch IV the VI PM newscasts & tomorrows headlines in the newspapers.

Helping Kids Is Great,

Rory
