Quod Paulus McC rogavit aliquem scribere in Latina, id faciam cum non essem eruditissima discipula in schola. Tamen secutus sum in passibus sororis Jameo Mariae. Ego studebam docebamque Latinam linguamque Hispaniae vigintiocto annos. Conata sum uti huius modo cartarum et quidem. simile sorori, ego illas movebam dicebamque "proxime, sede, proxime." Ego dabam illam spectatum. Hic modus not erat utilis discipulis modernis. Nihil eos terret.
I will let you all ask your kids to translate, as I am sure you made them all take Latin and suffer as we did. We did get good skills as evidenced by those who have blogged.
I majored in Latin at Emmanuel along with Joan Hoar and continued at BC. After college I did Europe with Maura Mc Groarty and skied with her, Edie Reidy and others. After teaching for VII years, I married Richard Moore.and we have lived in Westwood for the last XXX years with Emily, Brian, Kevin and Patrick. After teaching the last XX years at Woburn High-yes Latin- , I have retired and am spending much time with the grandchildren.
Spero vos omnes visuram esse Septembre et ferte memorias.

Louise,
ReplyDeleteI got the numbers but the rest is "Greek'. You expect OUR children to have taken Latin? You're kidding, right?
It's a long way from what we were taught and today's academic world.
Great to hear about your successes,
Jon
Is the last line, I hope to see you all in September and share memories?
