Speaking of Ruth, some of you may have known or know of Alan Groves.  His 
widow, Libby, will be performing Ruth as an oral dramatic presentation at 
our little school next week.  She will be reciting the English text from 
memory.  I am responsible for preparing the students for this event, and 
plan to talk about how in ancient times the majority of people would have 
heard rather than read the text.  Any insights or thoughts on how 
particularly this might have taken in place in the ANE context?
