Thanks, Elizabeth!
I will append the simple directions for those with
their own or rental vehicles, but we may also go in convoy after the five
o'clock Friday end of class on May 5.
It should take under an hour for the thirty miles even
in the Beltway/270 getaway traffic of a
late Spring weekend. It might even be a
chance for applicant guests to meet faculty and students in recruitment of
Cohort 18+ to have them observe a class and then talk with veterans of the
"Trust in the Process."
There is also a way to get to or from Derwood MD using
public transport, since the Washington Flyer from Dulles goes to West Falls
Church Metro connecting at Metro Center to the Red Line that ends in Shady
Grove station a short walk away‑‑and within a few minutes drive of
the phone number appended.
For any "thrill seekers" who wish to ask the
Loudon County indigenes who might be driving and who could be up for a real
adventure at a spectacular time of year in full azalea and rhododendron bloom,
I might recommend an even more fun alternative to creeping in 495/270 traffic,
"adventure travel" up Rte. 7 toward Leesburg connecting with Rte 28
East. As a Cohort (rather than a full
regiment) we could cross the Potomac (as Gen. Jubal T. Early did in invading
the North from the capital of the South, enroute to Antietam and, eventually,
Gettysburg‑‑spotted from the MD Sugarloaf Mountain lookouts) aboard
White's Ferry‑‑ shorter in distance, but more scenic even if longer in time, and
during that time on the car deck you can re‑live Civil War history and capture
a few more stories enroute!
We can join with the faculty, significant others and
TA's, each awaiting the latest news flash‑‑even if a number of our
creative writing pieces from last Friday's sessions in the computer lab of
Building #1 are in their third review,
preventing an early release of the good news, that‑‑like the orals,
everyone who took the writtens also passed the second "qualifying "
hurdle. I suspect that the time and
place would be a good one for that announcement!
Looking forward to it along with you!
Cheers!

Hi all,
On behalf of Glenn, I want to remind everyone that he
has graciously
offered to have an end of year party at his home in
May. Thus far our
schedule is free Friday evening so it is a good time
to get together.
Glenn is going to have it catered so please email me
(since he his
always on the road I will collect the info for him) if
you are NOT
going to attend. As long as we know about ten days
ahead that should
work. Glenn will send out info regarding the time and
directions again
closer to the actual date.
Great seeing everyone and I know that we will all
enjoy a much needed
less stressful month. Safe Travel.
Elizabeth
