One which is especially dear to my heart is "Project Uplift," a program which permits me and other former astronauts to speak in school assemblies with the youth of America. Today, more than ever, our young people need positive input, and Project Uplift gives us an opportunity each year to share with thousands of young people as they prepare and develop body, mind and spirit. If you would like to assist in this endeavor, I have enclosed a self-addressed return envelope. Cordially yours, (signed) James B. Irwin President".
