As I mentioned to Boon, my father is the Ultimate School Scavenger. he works in a private school where supplies and personal items are discarded with abandon. I know he can get some Latin books, and is geeky enough to get a thrill out of sending some to people, or to me to send on. I am not sure what text he uses.

I like to buy Latin books. I have a few textbooks, and a few of those translated literature books, including "Winnie Ille Pu Semper Ludet".

What I don't have is a teacher or anyone to practice with. I can learn a lot of things out of books, but foreign languages have never been among them. [Grumble]

Keep in mind that my father only recently figured out how to generate his own email. I have called him Reply guy for years.

I really hope he does this. He says he has someone willing to help him, and he does not sound frightened of the prospect.

He is also looking into something that the Classical League(or some other group) has where he could be sort of a traveling substitute. It is not an easy thing to find a Latin sub, and when people get ill, or go on a leave, the position is often filled with videos.

Anyway, he will be thriled with the enthusiasm.
