I’m breaking the news before it’s official, but word is that a French in Action reunion WILL happen at Yale University October 29-31. Charles Mayer left a message in the Discussion section last week. I shot an e-mail off to the Professor to ask if it were true and today I received a response.
Professor Capretz writes:
Yes, indeed, we are planning a FIA Reunion for October 29-31 in Yale, because of you: visitors to your blog have suggested it.Of course everybody interested will be welcome. We will mail an announcement and, of course will send a message to your blog as soon as the plans are fairly definite. At this time we expect « Mireille » and « Robert » to be present as well as many members of the old gang. We are thinking of talking about how FIA got to happen, having a round-table about learning and teaching with FIA, showing some students brilliant and funny accomplishments in Reinvention de l’histoire, and showing how FIA is going interactive. We will welcome any suggestions that you and visitors to your blog would be kind enough to send.
Don’t keep him waiting, send in your suggestions as comments below!
However, on a very worrysome note, Prof Capretz relates that he’s recuperating from recent heart problems. I know all FIA fans join me in wishing him a speedy recovery. I hope it will do his heart good to see and meet many of us for whom FIA has been hugely important and useful in our lives!
Here’s a suggestion: how about a FIA Halloween party (all 80’s music, of course) with prizes for the best FIA look-alikes?
Hope to see you in New Haven, Connecticut at the end of October!
