Appendix: Recommendations & Responses


Stories have been around for centuries, legends, folk tales, myths.  It's how we tell our history.  Without having been told the stories of our past, we're often lost in the world we inhabit.  We need to know the heroes, heroines, the villains, the ideas, conflicts growth and consequences.  History is what helps us make sense of our world.
