My good friend Debbie Stier was just here for a week — !

Debbie brought Donald C. Smith et al’s Learning to Learn with her and spent part of each day working her way through the text. It sounds fantastic. Using his techniques, she was easily remembering all of the salient points. 

When I get back, tackling L-to-L is next on my list.
