As I write this during the expanding coronavirus epidemic, my grandchildren are preparing for all their middle school and high school classes to move to remote learning.
I'm encouraging them with a description of a remote learning experience from my past. In 1963-64 I was living in London, and missing my own university classes. I enrolled in a correspondence course taught by Dr. Hendricks, which explored English novels from the 17-18 century. It was wonderful! I read my assigned novels, wrote my critiques, mailed them off, and waited with impatience for his perceptive and encouraging feedback.
I now teach at the university level myself, and Dr. Hendrick's example as a teacher continues to inspire me. We never met, but I felt a strong connection to this inspiring man.
