Small world. I learned Old English a few years ago in Calvin Kendall's
class. I'm now waiting for admission into the MLS program at the U of M to
pursue a study of ethnic identity in tribal cultures--Dr. Kendall's OE
segment in a Brit Lit survey course I took as a Freshman ('bout 7 years ago)
sent me on this path . . .
Cheers,
Frank
