[CASL-L] Marc Nobleman visit

[Alexandra Stevens]

As a follow-up to Torrie's e-mail, I just wanted to pass along that
Marc is scheduling
schools in CT for the weeks of 11/9, 11/30, and 5/9 - "The November dates
are short notice, I know, but rest assured I am low maintenance - you might
say easy like Sunday morning. And I require ZERO prep work. You simply set
up the PowerPoint, I show up and fire up the kids about writing and
research with an enthusiasm that will last till summer or beyond!"
