[Homer2009-1] Brief Intros

[MMFlournoy at aol.com]

Brief bio--  Mary Flournoy
 
I am new to RO and new to this group (I just joined this week, so  I'll be 
a bit behind in Oct, but will have caught up by  November!)
 
I used to be a CPA, banker, and management consultant (read: nerd),  but 
now have my own consulting firm.  I love Greek Mythology (never took  Greek, 
but 4 yrs of Latin, Andre!!) and was just pondering what "Classic"  to read 
next, as I have been missing them, and came upon info on the RO via a  friend 
in Facebook.  I am very excited to get to discuss it, and get  even more 
out of it!  I am a firm believer in life-long learning, too,  Helen!  What a 
great way to phrase it!

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.
