THE PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
from Laurie Covington
Salvete omnes
,I hope this letter finds you well and that the new academic year is going smoothly for you. Much has been happening in Virginia classics in the last couple of months. I hope you have had an opportunity to participate in some of it. First, let me say that we enjoyed a wonderful Fall meeting at UVA in September, and I would like to thank John Miller and Jon Mikalson for all of their help in making the day such a success. If you were unable to attend, you missed three terrific presentations by Eric Casey (Sweet Briar College), Kevin Perry (Governor’s Latin Academy), and Jane Crawford (UVA); all three speakers entertained and enlightened us quite well.
