<DIV><STRONG>Brief bio-- Mary Flournoy</STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG></STRONG> </DIV>
<DIV><STRONG>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!)</STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG></STRONG> </DIV>
<DIV><STRONG>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!</STRONG></DIV></STRONG></DIV>

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.</FONT></DIV>

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.</FONT></DIV><BR>

size=+0 face=Arial>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.</FONT></DIV></DIV></DIV></DIV><BR><BR><BR>_______________________________________________<BR>Homer2009-1
