Mr. James R. Blackston
Director

Birmingham, Alabama Branch
6185 Hwy 195 North
Jasper, AL 35503-3409

Dear Mr. Blackston:

Thanks for sending me the material on how Alabama is using its Access and Visitation grant funds. I am always saddened when public officials and citizens have such difficulty working together. It is especially distressing to see this level of conflict and lack of understanding when our goal is to design activities supported by public dollars that are intended to help children.

Sincerely,

Nancy L. Johnson
Chairman
