Parapatetic Dr. Margaret Curtis, a retired Professor of Eastern Studies from Western Kentucky Unitversity, spent a block of time over the last twelve months teaching at two universities in China. We have published some of her correspondence on this blog. Those entries can be seen by checking the archives. This time we got a splendid power point presentation from Margaret herself and the audience was captivated. What I took away from Margaret's comments is how beautiful and collegiate her students looked. She obviously became very attached to them and I suspect it had a lot to do with their sincerity and enthusiasm. She commented during her presentation that it was the best group of students she had ever had.Although Margaret was afforded very comfortable living conditions in heavily polluted industrial cities, the students attended classes in modern looking classrooms that Margaret said were neither heated nor cooled. It rained abundantly during the time she was there. One student is trying even at this moment to get here to Bowling Green to attend Greenwood High School. Let's hope things work out so she can and we'll keep you posted on that story. Thank you Margaret for such important work towards international understanding and for your great presentation at our meeting.
