Thank you for your wonderfully written article on DC Reads in the Sept 14 issue (p. 6). The positive reaction generated by the article can only help our cause. Recognition of our work encourages the tutors who are already in the program, students interested in the program and the people who are supporting our program to continue doing everything they can to make DC Reads succeed.

Thanks to Hatchet reporter Ilyssa Trussel for getting the facts down and getting in touch with one of the tutors. And thanks to Hatchet photographer Joe Gidjunis for his good shots and professional demeanor on site. I enjoyed working with both of them.

You are doing a great job.
