[Homer2009-1] Brief Intros

[Tim Albright (albrigt)]

As a veteran, I have to tell you that the bios look like this will be a
great group.  And I also agree with Mary and Helen.  Wait a minute,
Helen?  Anyone named Helen in a Homer RO group will need special
attention.  Seriously, do we have a Penelope?  J

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.
