i was at ti earlier this week, talking with mark miller and truman blocker
about a scheme i'm trying to run in calif. it appears we have many of  the
same goals. the  plan goes as  follows: i'm currently  running a  graduate
class   at   santa    clara   university    in   functional    programming
(mtc/lisp/scheme/...), that will turn into an undergra class in to  spring
and will include a interactive programming  lab --a local net of  machines
running my tlc-lisp jazzed  up with smalltalk  like window system--.   the
ultimate target  for this  project is  the high  schools, and  we will  be
teaching the  material to  a  high school  math teacher's  institute  next
summer. the goal of all this is to get the crap-basic mentality out of the
colleges and high schools, teaching fundamental computing concepts in  the
lisp framework instead.   i have a  paper, EDUCAT[1,JRA] at  SAIL, that  i
would appreciate comments on.   i understand you have  some papers on  the
revised curriculum project you are undertaking at mit; i would appreciated
getting a copy.  mailing  address:  John allen,  18215 Bayview Drive,  LOs
Gatos, CA 95030.

the reason  i went  to  ti was  to obtain  support,  and support  was  not
forthcoming.  without funding  i will have  to borrow money,  and hope  to
survive 'till other  funds can be  located.  if you  have suggestions  for
possible funding agencies, i'd be gald to hear of them.
