This is a well written article about Clay in the Myceaean. Glad to see the students involved in the paper, current events and of course Clay. I just came back from a trip to Greece and we toured Mycenae. Wonder if that is the basis for the students paper's name.
Thanks for posting this Martha. I made a short comment on their site. Also thanks for all you do!
They did a great job with this interview with Clay. Hopefully these students will be inspired to also work to make the world a better place.
