Extractions: Review of 2001 Activities School Improvement Project Under the leadership of Peteris Zarins, Edite Irbe, and Lauma Upelniece Katis and with your contributions and help, we are continuing to provide computers and educational materials to schools of Latvia. The project previously was called "Computer Project." To reflect the broader scope of the project in that we will be responding also the requests from schools for educational materials, the project has been renamed "School Improvement Project." In 2001 we received a total of $4,800 in contributions to this project. We wish to thank you for your help. We were able to provide computers to Benes Elementary School, Cirava Trade School and Visku Technical School; and we provided financial grants to Riga 49th High School and to Vestienes Elementary School for the purchase of the requested educational materials. Additionally, with the help of the Association of Free Latvians of the World (PBLA), three computer systems were sent to Augsbebru School in Siberia, which is attended by a significant number of Latvian children. The First High School of Bauska received from us two foil projectors as well as software for computer-assisted design. We were very pleased when in several instances our gifts prompted local town governments to contribute funds to improve their schools' computer laboratories. This is very gratifying, as it demonstrates to the students that through cooperation the seemingly impossible can be achieved.

He was born in New Orleans on October 20, 1890 and died in Los Angeles on July 10, 1941. He is remembered as both a pianist and a composer. His Red Pepper recordings of the mid-20s document a marvellous coming together of composition and improvisation, marking Morton as one of the first jazz arrangers of note. The spirit of collective improvisation in New Orleans remained his love and he never did find interest in the new styles of larger ensemble orchestration put forth by musicians like Don Redman and Fletcher Henderson. Oddly enough, one of the great successes of the Swing Era was Hendersons update (for the Benny Goodman band of 1935) of an arrangement that he had done earlier for his own band. The piece was Mortons
