The Reading Teacher is the journal for elementary teachers of the International Reading Association, a 90,000-member organization advocating all aspects of literacy worldwide. The opportunity to share meals in the homes of native New Mexicans and learn about the history of their adobe churches and the stories of the people connected to these sites and structures was one of the unique opportunities of this workshop, as well as the photographic field experience. Craig Varjabedian, renowned New Mexico photographer and director of the field school, and New Mexico historian Father Thomas J. Steele of Albuquerque hosted the stay in LaMadera, New Mexico. He and Lori Ruge-Jones of TLU campus ministry will lead several workshops on Worship at Faith Fiesta, an event of Southwestern Synod of the ELCA held at TLU on Friday, Sept. 22. John Sieben will be consulting at Midland College this Friday and Saturday, Sept. 15 and 16, about their distance learning center.
Midland has an established program for offering courses via compressed video.
This visit will enhance our capabilities as we plan to fully utilize our new distance learning center in Beck Lower level, which currently links us to the RAFB campus. She was 92. Mrs. Buehring, who resided in Adkins, was a long-time member of First United Methodist Church in Seguin. Interment followed in Eden Cemetery. Jay's co-hosts for the evening will be Nancy Burris, Karen Bethel, Carolyn Schneider, and Reza Abbasian.
