Iacobus amicis collegisque Illinoesiae s.p.d. If anyone is interested in a little post-ACTFL conviviality next Friday, November 19th, I am meeting a few people...
First topic of discussion... Having been involved in ICC now for three years it has become apparent that many others aren't. On a very basic level, I would...
My guess is that most of us are involved with other folks who do classics, it's just that we're involved mainly with other people at our own level, and either...
Dear Illinois Classics Group, Jim has brought up a topic dear to my heart and one that I have struggled to figure out for many (too many to count) years. It...

I couldn't agree more, actually, but I'm not even thinking in terms of attending conference. It would be wonderful if more people would go to the ICC...
We do have a superstar classicist here in Illinois -- Tom Sienkewicz --in my opinion he rates right up there with Kitchell and Lawall. Of course Lawall is ...

No, you're right, I didn't mean to forget the people in IL who do a hundred people's worth of work and effort (like Tom - I'm too young to remember the others...
Salvete omnes, I think Jim has a great idea about meeting informally. At my school on Monday mornings, curricular teams meet to discuss issues and different ...
I am a new teacher here in Illinois teaching at the Barrington Middle Schools (Ginny Anderson's position). I am originally from Texas, where Latin was the law...
SALVE, Brandy! I'm in the same boat, involvement-wise. I came from Massachusetts where the good folks at UMass had us going to anything and everything we...
Unlike you, Jim and you, Brandi, I am a native of Chicago, was raised in the suburbs, went to school in Monmouth, Illinois (where my Latin professor took all...

Hi everyone...it's my first post but I've been reading everyday and want to thank Jim and everyone else for their thoughts. Lea Ann's last comment made me...
What a turn out for dinner last Friday! My apologies to anyone we might have left behind at the hotel. We were expecting fourteen and so, when nineteen ended...
Jim, Gratias tibi agimus for "yahooing" us into action and initiating our first social. Though I only conversed with half the company at my end of the table,...

Brian, I do! It's partly my fault, too: even *I'm* the one being pulled in different directions. I need some suggestions on this, too, but I do realize that...
I often had problems with conflicting student activities, as Brian mentioned in his post. If none can go to IJCL South, then maybe there will not be as much...
