<< I finally got around to taking a look at the latest issue of Substance 
last night.  I just wanted to thank George and all the folks at Substance for the 
wonderfully moving tribute to our Steve Orel.  It was so comforting to read 
his "Janice's lesson" piece.   It reminded me of what an incredibly gifted and 
compassionate writer our friend was.   Thanks again George - you did us all 
proud.   >>

We just posted the PDF of the September 2007 Substance on our new webstie 
(www.substancenews.net) so that everyone here can read what Sue is talking about.

NOTE; THE WEBSITE IS NOW "DOT NET." 

We are no longer updating DOT COM but are leaving it there for back issues 
(especially the stuff about how we got sued for a million dollars by the local 
corporate school reform Chicago Boys Shock Doctors and survived)...

However, we have to ask everyone to subscribe to the print edition of 
Substance or we go out of business. Unlike some groups, we get no foundation funding 
(for obvious reasons). Although that means we never have to pay the corporate 
piper and praise corporate "school reform" in order to sustain ourselves, it 
also means we have to have a broad sustainable base of actual paid 
subscriptions.

Please subscribe:

$16 (or more) for one year (10 issues) check payable to Substance and mailed 
to

Thanks Sue. It was a challenge to put together something appropriate to 
Steve's memory. I think we did a reasonable job, although the final tributes are 
his legacies into eternity.
