To Whom It May Concern,

I am a Science teacher in a rural public school.  Many of our students =
are considered in the poverty range and do not have access to computers =
at home.  I now have 5 outdated 386 computers in my room.  My students =
look forward to the time that it is their turn to use these computers.  =
With class sizes in the twentys, that is unfortunately not very often.  =
Now for my biggest problem; most of the new software available that =
correlates with our textbooks and just general Science software  comes =
on CD rom and requires a faster processer.  This limits the information =
that my students have access to.  These computers are also not hooked up =
to the internet, so the wealth of information that is available to some, =
is not available to many of my students. =20

I am looking for foundations, businesses, or private individuals who see =
the need to expose today's youth to the way of the future.  I realize is =
some areas, a home computer is standard.  Unfortunately, this is not the =
case here. =20

If you can furnish any information that could help me fund the purchase =
of 10 computers that would be placed in my classroom  for student use, I =
would greatly appreciate it.

You can contact me at tstamper@ocevnet.org.  or at Beggs Middle School, =
P.O. Box 719, Beggs, OK  74421.

Thank you in advance for your help. =20
