 Hal
Engstrom was an ordinary schoolteacher at Cordova Middle School,
teaching sixth grade language arts.
He loved his career, knowing that he was contributing to society
by educating America’s youth. But on the morning of Sept.
11, 2001, America fell under attack and Engstrom knew that there
was more he had to do.
“ Are you sure you’re doing enough to help America?”
he asked himself regularly. Each time, he knew that he had to take
action.
Despite already being in his 30s, Engstrom decided to enlist in
the Army to defend his country.

E-mail
caution prevents worm
Maria Khan
Contributing Writer
A new computer worm called MyDoom is circulating in
the United States and abroad.
This virus looks like a regular e-mail message but is actually a
program that spreads itself and installs a program that leaves an
open door to infected computers.
What worries Microsoft program technicians is that MyDoom is an
example of a new breed of professionally created worms that are
difficult to detect and can move a lot faster.
