Thanks to everyone for the kind words for Yris. There is an incredible amount of work that goes in to a book so whether the book is successful financial venture or not doesn?t take away from the accomplishment. Yris didn?t write these books for financial gain, but that would certainly be a bonus. She already is planning a set of test books to replace the one the students have to buy. I really am amazed at her energy and commitment. Many of the people of this board, including myself make less than flattering comments on occasion on the strength of Dominican character. Perhaps I?m luckier than most but I?ve meant numerous Dominicans that are hard working, intelligent, and willing to make a differnce in their communities.
