Re Emma, i heard that a Berkman offspring or great nephew or some scion of the Berkman family is now a Catholic theologian -- a moral philosopher. Totally against abortion and contraception, one would imagine. Boggles the mind.

Anyway, i miss Ann Arbor. It's a great place to live.

Welcome to the planet.

hi, Martina! i love the name by the way, it reminds me of one of the greatest Women Athletes of all time, the tennis player Martina Navratilova (whose last name i may have spelled wrong!).

oh my about Emma's descendant being conservative...Emma must be rolling over in her grave over that one.

i love Ann Arbor too! my job is at the Flint campus but i volunteer for committee work in Ann Arbor so i have an excuse to go there regularly! also i love to go see the women's sports teams play. i used to go to the football games but the tickets are so damn expensive anymore! were you a student there? i got my master's degree in library science there in 1990, i was there for Bo Schembechler's last season as football coach. and the star of the women's basketball team at the time (Carol Szezechowski) was from my hometown! if there had been a WNBA then, she probably would have been good enough to play in it!

i lived in one of the student co-ops, which was a really nice thing as it was a mix of people from the USA and many from other countries who come to the U for their education. Flint campus is getting more like that, we are really growing and helping to bring some life back to the old auto factory town that does not have too many factories anymore.

well, nice to meet you and let's keep in touch!
