HICKAM AIR FORCE BASE, Hawaii --  On Tuesday Nov 25 2008, Mrs. Susie Tuck, wife of Colonel Giovanni Tuck, 15th Airlift Wing Commander and Ms. Debra Straight, 15th Airlift Wing Deputy Inspector General, helped the Pearl Harbor Rotary Club distribute copies of "A Student's Dictionary" to 3d graders at the Chester E. Nimitz Elementary School. 

"The dictionaries were given as part of the Rotarian's annual State-wide project to provide every 3rd grade student with their own dictionary to improve their reading ability and spark a general interest in learning", said Mr. Jeff Deer, a member of the Pearl Harbor Rotary Club.

"The dictionaries are an excellent educational tool and resource with useful information such as biographies of U.S. Presidents, the U.S. Constitution, weights and measures, metrics, the periodic table, a multiplication table, roman numerals, maps of the world, and facts about countries. The kids were very excited about them and they commented that they couldn't wait until they got to home to tell their parents about it and show it off," said Mrs. Tuck.
