<font face="Arial Narrow">Hello Everyone,<br>
<br>
My name is Margaret Carayannopoulos and I along with my husband George,
will be joining you every month as part of the Herodotus 2010 reading
group.<br>
<br>
I work at Harvard University as a Financial Officer for the Museum of
Comparative Zoology:<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.mcz.harvard.edu/">http://www.mcz.harvard.edu/</a><br>
George has just retired as a scientist from MIT-Lincoln Laboratory and
is finding his way into a whole new lifestyle. I love being with my
grandchildren, walking and traveling.<br>
<br>
We wanted to let everyone know that yes, we both have a strong Greek
back round (George is from Egypt.), speak <u>modern</u> Greek, but
have <u>no</u> real knowledge-base of the ancient<br>
Greek language; we have much to learn from all of you. Also, we are
one of the few Greek-Americans who decided to keep all fifteen letters
of our last name!<br>
<br>
We look forward to gaining insight into a part of the world that at one
time was so dynamic and gifted.<br>
<br>
Take care,<br>
<br>
Margaret<br>

<p>Hi all!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I'm Marie Studer and I am the Learning and Education Group
director for the Encyclopedia of Life, an on-line resource that strives
to be a "one-stop knowledge shop" of the latest scientific information
about all life on Earth. By making this information freely available
to all, EOL hopes to energize the science of biology and make it
engaging and available to people from all walks of life, all over the
world. I live and work in the Boston, Massachusetts area. I'm
interested in this time period and learning about the evolution of
modern day cultures, languages, thought and perceptions of the world.
I especially like Herodotus' holistic approach to writing (i.e.,
the "digressions"). In my spare time I enjoy being active outside,
cooking (and eating!) and beekeeping.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Looking forward to learning and being inspired by all of you!</p>
<p>Marie</p>

a pretty random mix of non-fiction and fiction. Some years ago I
started adding classical authors to the mix. Having since then done
Aristotle and Xenophon with the Reading Odyssey, it's clearly an
advantage to read these with a group, not to mention an expert.</p>
