Good morning all,
In light of Dave's Friday Element Quiz, this is something that I absolutely
have to share.

Dave and I are priviledged to do science and engineering demonstrations at
Iowa (sometimes farther) schools, which we call the Rockwell Road Show.
Dave is one of the originators of the program over 25 years ago. I have
been doing it for about 16 years now.  We both have a blast doing this (and
that is an understatement).  It is not unusual, when we have done the show
for Middle Schools or Elementary Schools, to have the kids write thank you
notes and indicate what they liked best about the show.  It is very
gratifying reading them.  But a few weeks ago, Dave and I did a show for
the Anamosa (Iowa) Middle School.  It was a fantastic show and the kids
REALLY got into it.  This morning, their science teacher dropped off the
thank you notes and a large rolled up piece of paper.  When we rolled it
out, we were absolutely blown away.  I asked Steve Gregory to post it on
his site.

A Periodic Table of the Elements, with a thank you note on the back of each
element.  Stunning.

Maybe next year, I can get them to do the half fractionals.
