--- Forwarded Message from Patty Lamb <[log in to unmask]> --- >Date: Wed, 18 Jul 2001 08:52:19 -0700 >To: [log in to unmask] >From: Patty Lamb <[log in to unmask]> >Subject: My New Career Dear Friends and Colleagues, You haven't heard from me in quite a while. I served on the IALL board of directors as the secretary/parliamentarian from 1997 to 1999. For the past 2 years I have been working full time in my job as manager of the University of California, Santa Barbara language and learning labs and have also been attending graduate school working on the California teaching credential. I finished my coursework in May and on Monday of this week was offered a teaching contract at a public Montessori K-5 elementary school in Lompoc, California. Have you ever been extremely happy, excited, scared and sad all at the same time? It's a little overwhelming up here on cloud 9. All 20 of my students will be native Spanish speakers with little or no English language skills. So, as you can see, I will still be involved in language learning in a very big way. My last day here at UCSB will be August 7th. I have been employed by UCSB since 1975, literally half of my life! Anyone who remembers me and would like to give me words of wisdom would be welcome to respond to [log in to unmask] until the 7th. After that date I can be reached at my home email address which is [log in to unmask] Sincerely, Patty Lamb Patricia (Patty) Lamb Labs Manager, Instructional Resources University of California Language & Learning Labs 2160 Kerr Hall Santa Barbara, CA 93106 (805) 893-3963 (805) 893-8373 Fax
