"Wisdom From Above" Gets a Proofing - Thanks, Mary!

Mary Lyle Proof "Wisdom From Above"
While EWTN reviews Wisdom From Above for its theology, we're busy back in S.E. Michigan going through technical reviews and proofing the 13 Episodes, and writing the Study Guide. Next step is to make the 100+ little fixes. We should be done with everything but the fixes before Christmas. My thanks to Mary (Freeman) Lyle who has volunteered her time to come and sit at my computer to proof all the on-screen text, and then take the Study Guide on her Christmas break and proof it as well. She's been showing up at 7 AM on Saturdays (!!!! Yes, I fix her omelets and ham). She's good. I've watched these episodes a dozen times already, and she finds multiple typos in every lesson. When Mary was in college she interned at my production company years ago. Then after a stint of teaching in CA she moved back to MI and lived with us for 3 years renting a room, while she substitute taught, and looked for a full time job. Then she met Randy Lyle, got married, and moved out. They adopted two great kids from Russia, and live near by so now and then between her teaching assignments she finds time to help me run conferences, and proof stuff. Many, many thanks, Mary. God bless you!

  1. (!!!! Yes, I fixer her omelets and ham) - What do you think Mary, needs proofing?

    Might be a Michigan idiom, but I sure am not from Michigan so I don't get it!

  2. (!!!! Yes, I fixer her omelets and ham) - Is this a Yooper thing? Didn't Mary tell you non Yoopers would frown at it? Oh Mary, he keeps doing it!

  3. Thanks, Brenda. I was hoping Mary would proof what I wrote before others, but evidently you get up before we do. :) I "fixed" the typo. But Mary's coming again on Thursday to finish up, and ham and eggs are on the agenda. Do you know Mary? From where?
