Dear Editor,

What a joy it was to read Terry Ahner's article of the "What's So Cool About Manufacturing" video conference in the Fridayissue of The Times News.How refreshing to read of the positive efforts of these students, as opposed to much of the negativity seen today.Many thanks to all who supported this "cool" project, and kudos to Tamaqua Area Middle School students in receiving the Outstanding Marketing Plan Award.Respectfully,Marian FrantzWest Penn Township
