This Sunday our featured speaker will be Michael Dorman.

Part Two of Michael’s talk, at a future date, will deal with the spread of reading and writing, libraries, bookshops, censorship, book burning, etc.
Michael received his B.A. in Anthropology from McMaster University in Hamilton and trained to teach English and French as second languages. He taught French to grades 7 & 8 for a couple of years. Michael has a passion for languages with French and Spanish being his second and third languages and he has studied Italian, German, Portuguese, and Latin.
