NRA STUDENT DENIED ACCESS TO SCIENCE FAIR In San Diego County, a young NRA member, Russ Grisbeck, won his school's science fair project by developing a project involving the ballistics and physics involved in the flight of bullets. He has been DENIED the chance to compete in the next level of competition because of "safety" concerns according to the Science Fair Board. This decision is being appealed, and a hearing may be scheduled for Monday, April 4th. Please call Mr. Tony Spears at the County Office of Education at 619-571-7202 and ask that they accept Russ' project into the Science Fair. The hearing itself is closed to the general public, but if you have ideas to help show support for the family, you may call Mr. Grisbeck at 619-788-7539. ====================================================================== -- ************************************************************ * Ron Phillips crphilli@hound.edaca.ingr.com * * Senior Customer Engineer * * Intergraph Electronics * * 381 East Evelyn Avenue VOICE: (415) 691-6473 * * Mountain View, CA 94041 FAX: (415) 691-0350 * ************************************************************
