<P>My name is Jeff Stehle. I live near Detroit, Michigan. I feel like the odd-man-out in this group as I am a letter carrier with no degrees or college background. However, I have been a fan of ancient Greek history since first reading The Odyssey back in high school many,many,many years ago. Just this past month, I fulfilled a life long dream by taking a three week trip to Greece and Turkey. I love to travel, having been to 49 of the 50 states and 10 Canadian provinces. I am in the process of writing a blog of my recent trip for celebrategreece.com. Other than that, my hobbies include photography and geneaology. I have read Herodotus twice and look forward to reading it a third time with a group.</P>

I teach high school Latin language and literature at the Hockaday School in Dallas. When I am not reading Roman or Greek literature, I love to ride bikes with my family, go camping/hiking, and play games (especially chess). Newest hobby: watching Jupiter these last few weeks through a telescope.</FONT></DIV><BR>_______________________________________________<BR>Herodotus2010 mailing list<BR>Herodotus2010@readingodyssey.org<BR>http://readingodyssey.org/mailman/listinfo/herodotus2010_readingodyssey.org<BR></div></body></html>
