Hello All You Am Mem Fellows...

     Shari and I fianally moved into our new home and most of the boxes are
either emptied or puiled in a corner more or less out of the way.  Starting
school with alll of its tensions and uncertainties have been made even more
comlicated by all of those boxes containing important stuff but not knowing
where anything is.  Ahhhhhhh!!!    And so, typically, when I finally got
around to opening up my e-mail, it seems overwhelming.  All of that on top of
the fact that our modem seems to have decided to choose this moment to quit
so I am writing this on a borrowed computer.  All this by way of an
introduction and encouragement to check the LOC website where I will post
some thoughts relating to assessment intended to kick off an on-going
discussion.  I may disappear for a while until we get our computer fixed or
unless I can bororow this one again, so I hope the conversation will be up
and running of its own accord.

Best of luck for a fun-filled as well as fruitful school year and do share
your thoughts on assessment as they crop up.

Dick
