I'll start. I'm Barbara Garner, editor of Focus on Basics. I'm based at World Education, in Boston. I have, in my time, worn many different ABE 'hats', from teaching, to training, to funding. One of the reasons I started the list is that, as editor, I get to discuss each FOB article with a group of colleagues (the editorial board) a number of times. I also get to talk with all the authors. I find that process amazingly intellectually stimulating; editorial board members say they enjoy it, too. I thought it would be fun to see if we can take this "book club" approach on-line and include many more voices in the discussion. I also hope I will learn from the discussion and reflect what I learn in future issues of Focus on Basics. ****************************** Barbara Garner phone (617) 482-9485 World Education fax (617) 482-0617 44 Farnsworth Street e-mail bgarner@worlded.org Boston, MA 02210-1211
