Kade Lecture

Dear Janice:

Let me express my sincerest thanks for your lecture/performance yesterday. Although the college had a lot of other events scheduled for the same time, our turn-out was excellent.

My colleagues and I thoroughly enjoyed the lecture turned performance. What a change from the sometimes rather dry readings one attends so often. You grabbed the audience from the beginning and had them at the edge of their seats for the entire hour. Especially the students, whom I observed every now and then, seemed completely taken in by your delivery. What a brilliant way to expose beginning students to cultural differences between America and Germany.

Personally, I must say that I have never laughed this much at any lecture I have ever attended. Needless to say, time just flew by. I have already received several thank you notes from faculty in other departments that attended the event. Let me quote just one colleague here who writes:

A heart felt THANKS for yesterday's delightful presentation. Janice is wonderful!...I know it got my blood flowing---which, as we all know, can only make me a better teacher.

I don't think I need to add anything to that, besides the request or sincerest wish that you promise to come back this fall for an encore performance.

Sincerely,

Roman Graf (Roman_Graf@flannet.middlebury.edu)
