Wed Sep 9 Dressing Up! Today is 9/9/2009. We’ll “dress to the nines,” as they say. Just why do we wear clothes? We’ll go from the fig leaf to Calvin Klein.
Presenter: RoseMary Rumbley, author, teacher and lecturer
Wed Oct 14 Numbers, Numbers, Numbers. Let’s Break the Code. Remember that before Zip Codes, there were Zone Numbers. We will look at familiar numbers and break the code. We will look at the “special” numbers on your currency (most of your dollar bills have ‘11’). Just to be different we will look at Interstate Highway numbers. We’ll break the code on the first 3 digits of your Social Security number, and we will finish up with the Dallas “mystery” of area codes. Do you remember your first phone number? Just don’t call me at (972) 555-1234.
Presenter: Dr. Arnold Paddock, Richland College Physics instructor
Wed Nov 11 Harper Lee, Author of To Kill a Mockingbird-The Reluctant Celebrity. Among the authors of note who have written only one novel, Harper Lee, author of To Kill a Mockingbird, is among the most puzzling. Her lack of desire for any acclaim makes for great fascination for her fans. Mockingbird: A Portrait of Harper Lee, an unauthorized biography by Charles Shields, attempts to answer the questions about Lee. This presentation is an enactment of a fictional press conference called by Lee. Arlene Colbert portrays the elderly, though still feisty, Lee who only wants to be left alone but who doggedly responds to reporters – one more time.
Presenter: Arlene Colbert, entertainer, book reviewer
