RE: Sheff v. O'Neill 
  

Dear John, 

I am writing to inform you that the name of Mary Wilson was 
inadvertently omitted from Plaintiffs’ Final List of Non-Expert 
Witnesses, which was mailed to you yesterday. We had planned to 
include Ms. Wilson, but simply forgot to include her on the final 
list. 

Ms. Wilson is Assistant Director for Curriculum and Staff 
Development at the Hartford Public Schools and would be 
testifying regarding her work in those areas. 

I apologize for any inconvenience. 

Sincerely, 

VV 7

Attorney for Plaintiffs
