    Beth’s presentation today was fantastic! We’ll provide a digital recording of her lecture later this week and post it here.

    I look forward to listening to it.
    I enjoyed her brief recording about The Grand Armada on Studio 360 and Unpainted to the Last is a great book!

    Alas…

    I’m quite sorry to say that we don’t have an audio recording of Beth’s lecture after all. After trying to edit the recording, we learned that there wasn’t really a recording at all. My only guess is that I must have accidentally hit pause prior to the presentation when I set up the recording device.

    Ah…Time, Strength, Cash, (Technology) and Patience…

    My apologies…

    Erica,
    I thought of coming down–a 4 hour drive but decided to listen to the recording instead. Could you please give us some highlights of the talk?

    Thanks.

    Hi Jane (and all),

    I’m going to see if I can’t get a transcript of Beth’s lecture to post…stay tuned. :)

    best,

    Erica,
    That would be wonderful. Hope it works out.

    Best,

    We’ll all wait patiently for a transcript, or maybe even just her lecture notes or “lesson plan.” :)
