Geni.com (Online Family Tree)

I've started a family tree on Geni.com. Feel free to add on, edit, etc. as much as you like. (It's a wiki-tree, you might say,) You don't need to stick to just Haspers.

A word of advice: One of the first things you'll want to do is edit your user Settings so that they don't email you a hundred times a week (every time someone adds a comma to their profile -- unless that's what you want, of course!). The default settings can be very annoying.

National Endowment for the Humanities Grant

This spring I won a mini-grant from the NEH to provide instructional materials for my art classes. This fall I'll receive 40 poster-size images of American artworks, from the pre-Columbian era forward, plus a teacher's guide.

It's not a very big award, but it'll be a big help. It's been frustrating at times, with art history being a required part of the curriculum, to not have any examples to show students what I'm talking about.

This was the second time I applied for a grant, but the first I've ever won.
