Re: Congratulations to the Junior High Knowledge Master Team!
thanks for bringing up those questions Bill.... it is very hard for local
media to report without the information. I have picked this up and it will
be in the Eagle. I'd sure love a photo to go with it. It is one of our main
goals is to report on what the youth of our Latah County communities are
doing. If you have any more you can give me, Mr. Curley, I'd very much
appreciate it.
