AN HONOR FOR DEREK REA, MAP'S PUBLISHED LETTER ARCHIVIST

Derek Rea, for years, has maintained the special archive of pro reform
published letters at http://www.mapinc.org/lte/ -- adding each letter --
over 16,000!

The archive has always been a very powerful example of what the Media
Awareness Project of DrugSense - though it's many volunteers -
accomplishes. And it serves as a research tool for letter writers --
examples of what specific newspapers will publish, from whom, and how many
words.

But this week MAP webmaster Matt Elrod automated that task, so the webpages
at http://www.mapinc.org/lte/ have a new look. Be sure to check them out,
to see the great thoughts and value of all MAP's letter writers.

Derek, we are sure, will find other MAP tasks that need doing. He already
manages the process that identifies letter writers of the week and of the
month. Plus he is an editor @ MAP.

Derek, you represent MAP's greatest strength - it's volunteers. On behalf
of MAP and the reform community, Thank You, Derek!
