<BR>
. . . is<BR>
<BR>
1. I am retiring at the end of July, concluding 43 years in the<BR>
City<BR>
College system (I am the most senior employee in any category!) I<BR>
resigned as Director of Assessment of the college at the beginning<BR>
of<BR>
this semester, but will complete my twenty-first year as chair of<BR>
the<BR>
department.<BR>
2. I will begin work on a new textbook soon, the fifth level of a<BR>
now<BR>
four-level ESL series, Writing Academic English, entering its fifth<BR>
edition.<BR>
3. My wife and I will be going to Paris in May and probably to New<BR>
England some time in the fall so I can continue my quest to run in<BR>
all<BR>
fifty states (I'm at twenty-nine, but alas, have already run in<BR>
Georgia).<BR>
4. My grandson is now three.<BR>
5. Finally, tomorrow I turn sixty-six on St. Patrick's Day.<BR>
Best to all,<BR>

Hello, CBW EB!<BR>
<BR>
And so it appears while I was looking the other way CCCC landed on<BR>
my<BR>
doorstep. Looking forward to seeing everyone!<BR>
<BR>
<BR>
My deepest apologies for being out of the loop. In "good news" I'll<BR>
tell you more about why, but for now:<BR>
<BR>
<BR>
1. When shall we meet? Some of you were able to respond to Hannah's<BR>
Doodle poll @ <BR>
<A HREF="http://doodle.com/27fpqwnwiwnzg2dnhzhs6sei/admin#table">http://doodle.com/27fpqwnwiwnzg2dnhzhs6sei/admin#table</A><BR>
<BR>
>From what we have thus far, it appears no time is going to work<BR>
for<BR>
everyone. Kelly Ritter has made arrangements to stay an extra day,<BR>
which opens up several options Saturday afternoon. Please consider<BR>
those options when filling in the Doodle poll. If I'm remembering<BR>
correctly, many of our CBW EB members must leave by Friday, but<BR>
let's<BR>
get a better understanding of what's possible on that front. I may<BR>
be<BR>
able to stay through Saturday if need be, as well.<BR>
<BR>
Suggestion: After CBW meeting, if everyone isn't too fried. Could<BR>
meet<BR>
after/over dinner, perhaps in the same room. I know everyone won't<BR>
be<BR>
available, but we can do some good business online before and after.<BR>
<BR>
2. Attached are the minutes from the 2010 meeting. Please review.<BR>
Send<BR>
potential agenda items to me (and Hannah, with Liz). We will<BR>
compile<BR>
this week and send out agenda early next, along with meeting time<BR>
and<BR>
place once decided. At that time, we will also send finalized<BR>
agenda<BR>
for CCCC workshop (CBW Program) and SIG.<BR>
<BR>
3. Good news! Following the CBW EB tradition of beginning with good<BR>
news since we last met (and following Hannah's great lead of<BR>
requesting<BR>
that info be shared online), I'm requesting that we share with one<BR>
another some good news since Louisville.<BR>
<BR>
Been some exciting stuff happening for me since we last met.<BR>
a. Personal stuff: Got married (!) and moved into our new home<BR>
Professional stuff:<BR>
b. Susan and I published the 2009/2010 Double Issue of BWe.<BR>
c. I published article in latest issue of Computers and Composition<BR>
Online, with colleagues Adkins and Dunbar-Odom<BR>
d. Leave last fall to complete work on second book project, which<BR>
also<BR>
lead to completing our first documentary on the subject and several<BR>
grants (still pending)<BR>
e. With Deborah Mutnick, I hosted (just last week!) a conference on<BR>
our<BR>
campus with theme Writing Democracy<BR>
(<A HREF="http://writingdemocracy.weebly.com">http://writingdemocracy.weebly.com</A>). We'll also be co-editing a<BR>
special issue of Community Literacy Journal on the subject. Pumped<BR>
about that.<BR>
f. With Laurie Grobman, Jenn Fishman, and a cast of others, we just<BR>
submitted a CCCC Task Force statement on Undergraduate Research.<BR>
e. With Bump Halbritter, it seems we may publish a special issue of<BR>
Kairos dedicated to digital scholarship by undergraduates.<BR>
f. With a graduate student and help of local history librarian, I<BR>
was<BR>
able to install a Texas Historical Marker at the oldest African<BR>
American church in Commerce, the first to commemorate a building in<BR>
this historically segregated neighborhood.<BR>
List goes on. I'll stop there. A good year, though a busy one. ;)<BR>
<BR>
You?<BR>
