The course met over a three month period and focussed on teaching educators from the Metro New York area about the symmetries of a sphere using an ancient japanese art form called Temari.

A character that I am similar to is Barney fife off the “Andy Griffith show.” First, Barney and I have several similarities. Second, we are really funny and love making people laugh.
