Students Finish Project!!!

Buffalo (HBP) Thursday, 27 March 2003--After months of hard labor, four seventh grade students from Herman Badillo Bilingual Academy in Buffalo, NY finished their Forest Lawn projects today.  Since September of last year, these students have put in arduous hours after school researching and writing about Forest Lawn and the people buried there.  So involved did the students become that they went back in time and interviewed their subjects, witnessed a woman's crowning achievement, and wrote a biography.

Go to the Buffalo Life section and read a touching interview with political activist Mary Talbert.  Or read Frederick Cook's interview as he relates his perilous discovery of the North Pole.  Or, maybe he didn't discover it?

The Local News section features the opening of the Lafayette Hotel in downtown Buffalo.  Read about Louse Blanchard Bethune, the hotel's architect, and her accomplishments being a woman in a world dominated by men.

The Personalities Section features a brief biography of Buffalo native Marian de Forest, journalist, playwright, and founder of Zonta.
