Hi Bobby! I'm so glad you're here - a "MA Studies Network" just wouldn't be the same without you. Let us know if you have any suggestions for making the network more useful. Hope you're having a good summer. Any interest in a UMB harbor boat ride one of these Mondays?
Hi Bobby,
Hope all is well with you and your family. Have you been able to "do" any local history during your retirement?
I will be joining the ranks in September, although I will still be teaching on a part time basis at Assumption. They have not found a social studies education specialist yet.
I have been researching heritage trails for the past few years, and last year I received a professional development grant from the College to zero in on African American trails in New England. I have an article out for review right now. I will be continuing the heritage trail work this summer, but I am also planning to look into the lives of Louise Mayo and Josephine Collins, suffragists from Framingham.
May I add you as a colleague?
Hi Bobby!
What a hoot. I'm brand new here myself, but I really like the feel and potential of this community.
Lovely to connect with you again.

I can't seem to add you to my colleagues list. Perhaps you could try it form your end.
