Dear all, 

 

Last fall, some of you encouraged me to try and organize a lit’ry thing (12
best books, or something of the sort) for our “seminar” series.  I couldn’t
pull it off ,but, for the summer, St Johns is offering  seminars that might
fill the bill.  Please See,

Also, I will copy in the info below:
