As a public service, I am sharing a wonderful e-mail from one of my my heroes: Deborah Meier who celebrates her 80th year this month. Hope it inspires you as it did me.

Dear Peter,
This month marks my 80th birthday. To every query about "what shall I give you on your 80th", I reply: "Give to FairTest."
As the billionaires pour billions--maybe trillions--into their school deform efforts on behalf of using tests to make all education decision, only one outfit is consistently out there answering them: Our David with its sling shot. Goliath will fall, eventually. But it will help if FairTest can struggle on.
Though FairTest has been around for only 25 years, its agenda is one I totally share. That's why I serve on the Board of Directors and make regular financial contributions.
If you think the work to which I have dedicated my life is important, please join me in making as generous a donation as possible to FairTest today.
To make your 80th Birthday gift honoring me, Deb Meier, please go online to https://secure.entango.com/donate/MnrXjT8MQqk; or mail your check to: FairTest, P.O. Box 300204, Jamaica Plain, MA 02130.
Many thanks for your best wishes and donations!
Deb Meier
P.S. I'm enjoying 80, it feels just as good as....79.
