Hi,<br><br>My name is Tom Tilley. I'm British and moved over to Los Angeles with my wife when she began her PHD at USC. Prior to moving to the US I spent the past 6 years working in the UK and Hong Kong as a corporate strategist for a large British bank. I studied Classics as an undergraduate and want to renew my engagement with the subject. <br>

Hi<br>
<br>
my name is Suzanne lewis and I teach AP history courses at a private school in Ft. Worth. I have created a senior elective called The Art of War. It isn't a military history in any conventional sense. Rather it focuses on certain time periods, and battles, from economic, social, political, cultural, and so forth basis. I begin the course with a few comments, and very short readings from Herodotus and Thucydides. When I heard about this group, I decided it would be a challenging and interesting activity. I am not certain how much would translate into the course; I am doing it mostly for myself. I also recall that the first day of a Freshman history class on a Thursday afternoon the teacher assigned reading in Herodotus. I recall a very bewildering weekend, trying to plough through the many pages she assigned. I look forward to discussions and reading with you all.<br>

<br>
I am attaching some follow up information in response to your questions<br>
last night. I hope it will help you get started in Book I. I will be<br>
sending out more specific study guide questions, which we will use as<br>
discussion anchor points, in the next week or so.<br>
<br>
Glad to "meet" you all. If you would like to "introduce" yourself to the<br>
rest of the group, please 'reply to all' and say a few things about<br>
yourself. I will start the ball rolling:<br>
<br>
I am Andre Stipanovic from Plano, Texas. I teach high school Latin<br>
language and literature at the Hockaday School in Dallas. When I am not<br>
reading Roman or Greek literature, I love to ride bikes with my family, go<br>
camping/hiking, and play games (especially chess). Newest hobby:<br>
watching Jupiter these last few weeks through a telescope.<br>
