People involved in the grant.

Our Leadership Grant group is on it's way with a list of people with research questions.  See below.  We're excited as well as anxious to begin.  Some of us are already on Twitter and plan to post observations of our findings in Twitter.  If interested we are creating a Sullivan Heights Twitter to follow, but most of us are going to tweet our finds as well individually.  Soon to come, in September, a list of Tweet names and web addresses of the participants in our voyage of learning and discovery.
