Facilitator ProfilesCheck out the wonderful people who are involved with the Academy: OUR COURSE FACILITATORS(Listed alphabetically)
Carol Anthony (The Hero in Literature) retired recently from teaching high school English where she had the pleasure of teaching many Advance Placement courses. She is a passionate reader and has many interests, some of which might seem a little odd: evolutionary biology, World War II, mythology, especially in relation to the Third Reich, genetics in relationship to ethnic and linguistic analysis of the human family, historical mysteries, the Roman Republic, the history of language(s), feminism and goddess worship, European and near Eastern mythology, Holocaust denial, Medieval and Old English literature and language, and forensic science. “My husband no longer is annoyed at the constant arrival of packages of books sitting on our front porch; he's resigned to it. 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.
