Dear Mr.Partee,

. We would like to invite you to be on our Lunch Time Leaders Podcast that we do as part of our Social Studies class at Moran Middle School in Wallingford, CT. We interview leaders in our community and beyond to talk about the challenges of being successfully prepared for the 21st Century. Our teacher, Mr. Bogush, was telling us about an upcoming Podcamp he is attending, and he mentioned your name as one of the organizers. We would like to do the interview on Monday, January 10,2011 at 1:45 p.m. The interviews are usually approximately 15 minutes long. The interview would require us to have us call you on your phone in order for our system to record it, do it with Skype if you have that capability, or doing it live in our school is also an option. You can view our website and see examples of our other interviews on our podcast website, http://lunchtimeleaders.podbean.com. A list of the questions that would be asked are below. If any major changes are made we will send them to you at least a week before the interview We look forward to hearing from you,

Chris, Alvee, Steve, and Pat
