[Ct-nfb] Nominations Sought for CRIS Radio Educator of the Year Award

[Esther Levegnale]

I think either Ellen Bedford or Noreen Grice are both very well qualified.  Ellen did a super job as TVI in Bridgeport and she is still working very hard with NFB as well.  Noreen's books and raised illustrations are also incredible.  I hada the opportunity a few years back of going to the Boston Science Museum and had a chance to listen in on a demonstration of the planets and stars and I was able to use Noreen's illustrations as a guide.
