MAJOR DEVELOPMENTS

SOME RECENT DEVELOPMENTS IN THE LIVES OF AUM ENGLISH MAJORS

Eric Atkins is the proud occupant of a new house. Marjean Corkran has begun teaching full-time at Enterprise Junior College. Heather Edwards was seen having supper recently at the Green Papaya (a restaurant she highly recommends). Lisa Harrison has begun working as a free-lance book editor and is receiving rave reviews from her clients. Mary Beth Hogan and her husband Kevin are doing their best to cope with the challenges of what Kevin has dubbed "mortability." Wanda Isham, Jennifer Jacobs, and Linda Uranga have begun teaching as adjunct instructors at AUM. Jennifer's brother, Andrew Jacobs, continues to wow his students at Faulkner University. Dallas Merritt and Catherine Winn were united this summer in holy matrimony; the new Mrs. Merritt began working this month as a tutor in the AUM Learning Center. Jessica Skarda recently accepted a position at the Alabama Shakespeare Festival after impressing everyone as an AUM intern there. Deborah Solomon and her husband Charles Solomon are celebrating their second wedding anniversary; earlier this spring they visited relatives of Deborah in Germany. Deborah was heavily involved in promoting this summer's CLEFWORKS chamber music series. Sarah Fish is having fun with her students at Macon East Academy. Robin Sulkosky visited Peru during the summer break, where he not only did some sight-seeing and mountain-climbing but also managed to survive the major earthquake that rocked Peru during his visit. Ashley Wright recently celebrated a birthday and was serenaded by a massive throng of musically-challenged admirers.

I don't know if I would call them admirers. But they were certainly musically challenged. :)

It is the thought that counts, right?

Kudos to your graphic artist. The layout is wonderful, and the content shows what a close family the department is.

I wish I could claim that there was a graphic artist! It's just moi working with a template. You know they have made these things simple when I can put something like this together in a few minutes of work. Thanks for being the first to leave a substantive comment!

Web Master Bob,

Thanks so much for getting this site up and running. It offers an important way for us to stay in touch with our students, both current and former.

Regards,
Alan Gribben

It maybe musically challenged in some people's minds but it could be artistic in others such as a story or poem or song that seems a horrible, waste of time to some people and sweet melodies to others. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder as I always go by in life. Or maybe I'm just making all this up so I can have something to say in the comment.

I agree with kidoe and Gribben that this site is a wonderful thing.

Journalistically speaking, it takes two sources for something to be considered true; therefore, if Dr. Evans and I believe it was a musically challenged choir of Lit Critters, it was!!!

But they are some sweet critters. AND THANK YOU VERY MUCH, HUNTER. You had the best voice of all. :)
P.s. They need spell check on this thing.
