Hi Linny, Sorry for the wait. For the most part the file is great but here are a few things for your consideration: -there is too much silence at the beginning. -You might take up the volume just a tad. -there are some words that I would have pronounced differently. I am not the expert on pronunciat...

Hi Linny,
Downloading section 28 now. Will get to it this evening or tomorrow morning. I am looking forward to listening.

Input requested: In Section 6, there is a reference to previous pages. This sentence occurs in the regular text and not in any footnotes: "In the year 1680 the two former took up the work abandoned by Allouez, and were with Tonty on the memorable day described on pages 26 and 27." I am inc...

Here is section 4.

Section 4 has a little French that I will have to look up and practice a bit. The city where I work is named after LaSalle and there is a street named Tonti there. I assumed it is named after Tonty but probably not pronounced the same. The folks of the Illinois River Valley don't always use conventi...

I guess these are all going to be rather short which is good for me because I feel like I am making progress.

Anyway here is section 3:

I am back from vacation and am, for now at least, free of laryngitis. Here is section 2.

It is a short one at 10minutes, 31 seconds.

Thanks,

Hello all!
I am back home and believe I am caught up with my PL'ing. Chapters 19, 24 and 27 are PL-OK.
Thanks for your patience everyone! It is good to be home.
Veronica

Chapter 21 is PL OK. Yeah!
Listening to other files later today.

ETA: I can't seem to get onto the MW. I am not sure if it is the nature of the connection here or what. I will try again later.

I am downloading the recent files and will listen tonight and over the next few days. Hope to get notes posted soon.

I am sorry everyone, there is little chance of me being able to PL these files with my cell phone on 3G. In the middle of the week we will give Mickey Mouse $10 for wired Internet and I can use my husbands computer to give the files a listen. I will not be offended if someone else wants to PL and I ...

I am working on pl'ing but here on vacation there is no wi-fi and spotty 3-G (thank you ATT) so I will continue to work on these because even here in the "Happiest Place on Earth" (Walt Disney World) my LV addiction nags at me.

Theresa, I gave Chapter 21 a listen. The only thing you missed is at 8:08: "They show houses that were built fifteen centuries ago..." You read "years". Since that changes the meaning, that should probably be changed. Other than that, the file has no clipping but it might be a li...

Hi Theresa,
I will download and listen today.
