Message-ID: Hello, My name is Bridget, and I am an eighth grade student in Denver. This year I am doing a project for the competition National History Day (http://nhd.org/). This is a national competition, where students pick a topic and then study it in depth for the year. Ultimately, the year culminates when students present their findings by creating a display board, play, website, paper or documentary. I have decided this year to do a documentary on the creation of the ARPAnet. Because I am making a documentary, it is influential to have interviews. I understand that there are many people here who would be primary sources on this topic. Would any of you be open to holding an interview? If yes, feel free to email me back at bghd12 at gmail.com. Thanks! -Bridget *Everything is history...* *or is it?* * * *Contact:* Email: Work: bghd12 at gmail.com -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
