Cheryl Staunton, who will speak on I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings, teaches French literature at Mary Washington College in Fredericksburg. She grew up in Cleveland, Ohio, and has loved French since the seventh grade. Through great personal and financial sacrifice, her parents enabled her to attend a six-week course abroad when Staunton was still in high school, and after her return from France, teaching French became her professional goal.
She received her B.A. from University of Michigan in 1972, her Master’s from the Middleburg College Graduate School of French in Paris in 1974, and is currently finishing her Ph.D. at George Washington University. Staunton taught in the public schools for five years before beginning her doctoral work. The discussion will be held at 7:30 p.m. at the Library. The public is encouraged to attend.

An ancient Appalachian craft, the frame basket is formed from two intersecting circles of heavy twisted vine, one of which creates the rim and the other, the handle. Spokes are then added to establish the bottom, and reeds are woven in last to fill in the skeleton.
