Here's a page just for fun.  I've kept some pictures from students in previous classes.  I'm sure you want to know the people in your learning community, whether or not each person is in this class.  You can link to the people currently in our class through the names at the right.

 

Distance learning can feel lonely.  Please do not hesitate to call me at my office during the day or at home evenings or weekends. 

Enjoy the page!
