<div align="left" style="text-align:left;"><font face="Arial" size="+0" color="#000000" style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;color:#000000;">Thanks for your participation and questions last night during our kickoff call. If you would like to listen to it, please go to:</font></div>
<div align="left" style="text-align:left;"><font face="Arial" size="+0" color="#000000" style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;color:#000000;"><a href="http://showsupport.typepad.com/odyssey/2010/10/herodotus-introduction-october-2010-audio-recording.html" target="_blank">http://showsupport.typepad.com/odyssey/2010/10/herodotus-introduction-october-2010-audio-recording.html</a></font></div>

<div align="left" style="text-align:left;"><font face="Arial" size="+0" color="#000000" style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;color:#000000;">I am attaching some follow up information in response to your questions last night. I hope it will help you get started in Book I. I will be sending out more specific study guide questions, which we will use as discussion anchor points, in the next week or so. </font></div>
<br />
<div align="left" style="text-align:left;"><font face="Arial" size="+0" color="#000000" style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;color:#000000;">Glad to "meet" you all. If you would like to "introduce" yourself to the rest of the group, please 'reply to all' and say a few things about yourself. I will start the ball rolling:</font></div>

<div align="left" style="text-align:left;"><font face="Arial" size="+0" color="#000000" style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;color:#000000;">I am Andre Stipanovic from Plano, Texas. 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>
