We do not live an equal life, but one of contrast and patchwork; now a little joy, then a sorrow, now a sin, then a generous or brave action. - Ralph Waldo Emerson

The true teacher defends his pupils against his own personal influence. - Amos Bronson Alcott

    AUDEM

     

     

    Besides hosting a wonderful conference in Central/Eastern Europe each fall and encouraging US/Europe/NIS cooperation throughout the year, the generous folks behind AUDEM are the ones who made possible the initial meeting of your hosts. No way can we thank Dave Hake and Evans Roth enough! Please visit the AUDEM WWW site, join their email listserver and, if possible, make plans to be at their conference in Budapest, Hungary November, 1998.
