[Homer2009-1] Brief Intros

[Helen Haertl]

Hi.  My name is Helen Haertl.  I live in Portland, Oregon.  I've never read the Odyssey before and thought this was a great way to approach it - much more fun - rather just reading it by myself.  I'm a firm believer in life long learning and am looking forward to our discussions.

One more thing,
We may not be using our time well if we introduce ourselves individually at the beginning of our next conference call.  In exchange, I wouldn't mind opening our discussion by saying a few words about each participant just to keep things moving.
If you would like me to quickly say a few words about you during our opening remarks, would you please send me a few sentences concerning your interests as they may relate to this reading group?  Why are you drawn to read Homer in your spare time?  That way we can get to know each other a bit better as we interact on the conference call.

Example:  Andre Stipanovic
I am a Latin teacher who teaches Greek on the side.  I moderate groups like this for Reading Odyssey, especially the Greek and Roman classics which I love.  I also lead adult discussion groups that focus on topics from the New Testament.  After studying copious amounts of European literature, I have found my preferred area of reading in the ancients.
