John and his student's efforts ARE making a difference throughout the
country regarding the education of students as to the ideals of Nikola
Tesla. His unselfish efforts are commended. We support his cause and
would urge others involved in the Tesla List to do the same -- the t-shirts
are very high quality and look impressive.
