I received a really nice “welcome” email from Robert French, whose InfOpinions blog appears in my blogroll. Robert teaches Visual Communications at Auburn University.
Hmmm, not only did the Auburn women’s track and field team edge USC for the 2006 national championship, but I am an alumna of the University of Florida, too! Do I feel a “gator chomp” moment coming on? But hey, we’re all doing this PR thing together!
Robert does some really great things with his students. Check out their journal for the Easter Seals’ Camp ASCCA for special needs children and adults. You can learn more about it at InfOpinions, too. The site features videos and podcasts. You really get a good idea of what’s going on at the camp.
Thanks again, Robert, and keep in touch!

[…] Karen notes that Auburn did Win (their) First Track And Field National Championship by “scoring 57 points to easily outdistance Southern California, which placed second with 38.5 points. The Tigers posted All-American performances in nine events, including two individual national champions and three second-place finishers, and broke two school records during the four-day event.” (Source) I was fortunate to actually see one of the ceremonies where Auburn saluted the women at Toomers Corner. Quite a sight and we are all very proud of the track and field team. Yet another post of Karen’s is about how sports sites don’t seem to give the women track athletes the recognition they deserve. I have to agree. It is one of the unfortunate sides of sports. I can remember when track drew big crowds. Stadiums would be full and TV would actually cover it – even live TV. Sadly, those days are gone. But, the athletes are still here and tremendously talented. It is a shame they don’t get more coverage. […]
