Dear FOB readers --

I think there's only about 30 minutes left on the east coast for the  
life of the list-serv.

I just wanted to share that I regularly use FOB articles in my teacher  
training courses at San Francisco State University and frequently  
direct students who are new to adult ed to explore the topics in the  
FOB issues to get an idea of the breadth of this field.

I know the FOB archive will always have a home in our MA TESOL  
curriculum, and I hope other university-based teacher training  
programs feel the same.

THanks to all the editors and writers over the years --

best, Maricel Santos
