[LIT] Bill Denney

[Judith]

Are you sure that you aren't thinking of Rick Wormelli of Day One and Beyond? I was at the Philadelphia conference and I don't remember Bill Denney, but I could be wrong. I haven't found my catalog from the conference.

Sherri,
If Bill Denney is the gentleman I am thinking of, (and from your
description, it sure sounds like it,) he is fantastic! When I went to
the NMSA annual conference in Philadelphia, 2 years ago, I saw him
speak. Teachers were packed in, sitting on the floor, enthralled. He did
a wonderful presentation on using game shows to help all kinds of kids.
As a child of the sixties who grew up on game shows, and still uses
Jeopardy to help kids review for tests, I was very impressed. I had to
leave early unfortunately because I was meeting my cousin and his
family, and I can honestly say, I was so sad not to see the whole
presentation (even though I am very fond of my cousin and his family!).
Sometimes I learn from a speaker something I hadn't even thought of, and
sometimes just to be motivated again. 
Please let us know if you decide to go; I think it would be a wonderful
way to get some new strategies, etc.
