Mon Sep 20 Great Composers, Fascinating Lives! Do you picture the great western composers sitting at their pianos writing music day and night, starving for their art? Don’t kid yourselves! Some composers led lives of barely concealed scandal that could have kept the National Enquirer in readers for years. Many composers had lives that were quite respectable on the surface, but hidden from the public were mistresses, lovers, illegitimate children, diseases people didn’t talk about, depression, alcohol and drug abuse, court intrigues, rivalries, all the human weaknesses and foibles we expect from more mortal folks. We will look at some of these composers and see them both as real human beings and as musical geniuses. Presenter: Gayle Ross, adventuress, world traveler
Tue Sept 14 What is the 9th Largest City in the USA Doing Here in the Middle of This Empty Prairie? Other world cities have harbors or major rivers. Dallas doesn’t, yet in the U.S., we anchor the 4th largest metropolitan area. We will review the history of this rather young city and discover why, as we see how the effect of new technologies will propel this "metroplex" into one of the major centers of the world in the future. Presenter: Dr. Arnold Paddock, Richland College Physics instructor.
Tue Oct 12 When Art Worked: A Look at the Artists of the 1930’s Who
Were Paid by the WPA These artists painted post offices, designed and
built pavilions, wrote and produced plays. The photographers brought the
public the horrors of the dust bowl and the misery of being hungry. The
writers told the stories of the suffering during the great depression. But
the artists were paid to do so with funds from the Roosevelt New Deal!
Presenter: RoseMary Rumbley, author, teacher, and lecturer

guards and changing the "bogeys." She spent a week in Irkutsk and
Lake Baikal, Siberia. En route to Moscow she experienced first-hand the

rail-line, its routes, costs, and side trips.
