"Underwater Adventures has a project about Frank Mills. Several siblings were here at the same time and we do the lab assignments together. They did the project and wanted to write to Frank to tell him that Music Box Dancer is a rockin song, via his website. So we did and Frank wrote back! He wanted to know all about our lab how we got the idea to include the piece and him on the study. So I wrote back and filled him in about your curriculum. I included your website. What a kick to hear back from him. The students were surprised too." - Kim J. Indiana
