Carol Anthony (Norse Mythology: Siegfried to Blitzkrieg, Part 1) retired recently from teaching high school English where she had the pleasure of teaching many Advance Placement courses.

He's also resigned to my addiction to what he calls my "dead body" shows on cable TV, but refuses to be subjected to them anymore.” Carol adds, “What especially interests me is how one subject connects to other subjects.” I have been singing with the Northland Chorale for about 16 years.
