X-Listprocessor-Version: 6.0c -- ListProcessor by Anastasios Kotsikonas X-Mailer: Microsoft Outlook, Build 10.0.2616 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Type: text/plain; Status: O Content-Length: 2094 Lines: 40 Dear All On the occasion of Barb's departure I just wanted to thank her and to say how much I have got out of the list over the last 8 years ... It was nearly the first thing I found when I first got email and access to the Web in 1995 or so....and I have made some really good contacts and friends through the list over the years. It's amazing through this technology how you can pick out odd sentences that 'resonate', and have immediate, personal contact with the authors by email in a way you can't do with an academic publication... So thanks especially to Barb, and also Paul Jurmo, David Rosen, Linda Shohet, Anne Lootyens, Sue Folinsbee, Tom Sticht, and all of you in fact, for helping me to remain international in my involvement with workplace basic skills work between 1995 and 2003. I left the Workplace Basic Skills Network at Lancaster University last January and am now pursuing other research interests. (I'm doing a PhD at the Centre for Jewish Studies at Manchester University, in 'Jewish Immigration to Glasgow and transmission of culture through the generations' - I'd be very interested in hearing from anyone, anywhere, with Scottish Jewish heritage by the way.) But I still subscribe to the list for 'old times sake' and because I'm still doing some on-line teaching at Lancaster University so still need to keep in contact with the 'workplace' field. So welcome and good luck to Donna and good luck to all subscribers in continuing with this - increasingly mainstreamed, at least in the UK - work! Best wishes Fiona Frank Former Director, Workplace Basic Skills Network. Now: Honorary research fellow, Department of Educational Research, Lancaster University And PhD Student, Centre for Jewish Studies, Manchester Uni.
