Readers Respond (July 2002)

Hi Noel — Thanks for the many ways you and your staff are helping to keep the TCC community in touch with one another. The article on teaching middle grade students from the March 2002 issue has been very helpful to me because I have been asked to suggest ways TCC practice might be used with schoolchildren, particularly in the elementary schools of the New York Archdiocese, who live near or have otherwise been affected by the World Trade Center disaster. . . .

Dear Noel,

I know you sent me a renewal notice for The Vital Force. Well, I carefully put it somewhere, and now I can’t find it! So, would you please send me another one?

I took the course again with Sandy [McAlister] and learned a surprising amount. My practice is going well. I lost over 20 pounds last year and have noticed increased lung capacity. Since I have asthma, my doctor gave me one of those measuring devices. So I know the increase is real, not subjective. Numbers don’t lie. . . .

. . . As you probably know, we in the S.F. Bay Area are in the process of setting up our own website, and in preparing for this, I’ve looked at the TCC website. I keep seeing a typo that perhaps you could correct. In the first section, one of the benefits states: “Does not requires physical fitness,” etc.

We’re keeping our info. at a minimum, and having a direct link to the TCC.org site, so it will encourage people to look further into it.

Keep up the good work on the VFJ; I have a small inkling of how much work it is to get that thing out every quarter, and we do appreciate having it for inspiration. Love,

I would like a 2nd subscription, as a one year trial to see if students like to look at it in class.

Don’t want to risk damage to [issues from] my main subscription!
