About my blog

I taught Latin and English for 30 years in Public and Private high schools. After retirement, I began to teach Latin in my home on both the elementary and secondary levels. I use a variety of Latin texts and incorporate scripture from St. Jerome's Latin Vulgate into my curriculum. Presently I am teaching students in my home who live in the South Carolina Low Country, but I welcome online students, as well.
