Sincere appreciation is extended Dr. Brooks, MEMBERS OF THE CENTRAL KANSAS AVTS AREA BOARD OF CONTROL, and the Superintendents who comprise the ADMINISTRATIVE COUNCIL of the Central Kansas Region for their continued support and encouragement. No matter how clear the aeed for new career-related curriculum materiale, no matter how thorough and creative the writers who prepare such materials, there always remains in the minds of everyoneconnected with a project one key question, "Will it work?"
