HERE IS A PROPOSAL... -----Original Message----- From: Steve McCrea <mistermath@comcast.net> To: aig sandro corsini <papacxii@aol.com> Cc: Steve conger <stevecongeralpina@gmail.com> Sent: Tue, Dec 8, 2009 6:51 am Subject: suggestion Sandro I'd like to suggest the following wording..... At the Roma 2011 Gathering**, there will be an opportunity provided in the program for a 90-minute panel discussion. The precise format of the discussion has not been selected or determined, and input from alumni and former staff is welcomed. **and at any gathering of alumni and former staff... just grab a camera and record something for the archives. The following topics are proposed: "Tell us something about the founder of Aiglon College. What do you remember about John Corlette? How were you hired? What guidance did he give you about running your classes? What notable comments did he make in private or in public that indicate something of his philosophy?" The proposed format of the panel discussion is for the former staff members to assemble on a stage or in a circle in a large room. The audience will be alumni. The panel of staff members selects one of their number to be the moderator and the session begins by greeting the audience and the moderator asks the topic questions (plus any additional questions that are proposed). At some point members of the audience will no doubt ask questions. VIRTUAL ATTENDEES: Skype connections Youtube uploads could take place at 5-minute intervals. For privacy reasons, the code for the ArLoBmEaCL2D0E1E1X the videos will be virtually undetectable in a search of youtube, since none of the videos will have other tags, just numbers A1 A2 A3 for the first day's three videos B1 B2 B3 for the next day's three videos C1 C2 C3 for the third day's three videos. to search for the third day's first video, write ArLoBmEaCL2D0E1E1X (C1) TEST: try to find this video with this search: "ArLoBmEaCL" I think you might... Here is the video DIRECT LINK: This is a sample video. Can you find it by searching? I don't think so... but you can find it if you search by albecldeex plus ROMA 2011 aRlObMeAcl2d0e1e1x Easy tip: CAPS: the first letters of the 5 main houses, intersperse roma2011 between the letters. A L B E CL D E E X r o m a 2 0 1 1 ArLoBmEaCL2D0E1E1X leaving CL together. RECORDINGS: The entire proceedings will be viderecorded (recorded on digital flash cards). Positive remarks will be preserved on DVD.*** The audio track of the positive parts of the presentations will be converted to mp3 and made available to the Aiglon Community as downloads or on CD. The DVD will be made available for a nominal charge (perhaps $5 per DVD, with net proceeds going to the scholarship fund). ***We record the sunny hours. At the end of 90 minutes the session will be ended and following a round of applause a short meditation could be given, perhaps a reading by Christopher Reynolds (invited) of one of JC's meditations. Proposed: Alumni can work together to pay for the travel, food and lodging costs of former staff members. Those staff members would be invited to participate on the panel. If there are more than 6 members of staff who attend the event, perhaps there could be two or three panels taking place concurrently, all recorded.... What do you think, Sandro? Is there space in your planned Roma event to have a "let's talk about JC" session? I could help organize the logistics and prepare the recording equipment. I'd also like to work on your committee to include absent alumni and link parts of the Roma event (where appropriate) to Skype and put portions on youtube. What do you think?
