Are You Ready to Learn Something New?

We invite you to join us in another series of Lifelong Learning in Retirement (LLRH) classes selected to stimulate your thinking and challenge you to learn something new! Classes begin Monday, October 26 and meet on Monday, Tuesday and Fridays for 4 weeks, ending on Friday, November 20. We’ve built a curriculum that covers topics in the arts, sciences, foreign policy and history. A little something for everyone!

This fall’s lineup begins with a 2-part series on Alfred Hitchcock, with film clips and discussion on some of his most memorable movies led by crowd favorite, John Abeln. Other Highlands residents, Alan Jones and John Lenzi, will help us understand “The History of Things” from how The Mosquito and the Horse make us who we are to taking a further look at the airline industry and learning how Boeing and Airbus are not the only players in the skies!

The University of Arizona offers a 4-part Science Series covering Aging Science – Preventing Disease at its Source, with one session discussing how Fruit Flies are Driving Big Discoveries in Brain Science. But if that isn’t enough to pique your curiosity, then we can look to the Power of the Stars and the future of Fusion Science or come back down to Earth to gain a better understanding of the Age of AI.

This Fall’s Great Decisions Foreign Policy classes will dig deeper into America’s Global Role, The Future of Human Rights, Ukraine and European Security and finally Today’s Nuclear Age. For this series, there are readings and a video that help guide the discussion. Contact Prudy Abeln, prudy_abeln@hotmail.com for further information on obtaining materials.

And, finally, don’t miss a musical performance by a string quartet from the U of A Graduate Music program * a 2-part series on Album Cover Art led by Jaye-Lynn Trapp * Philosophy Professor Dave Baker will lead us in a session on “The Philosophy of Love” and * Dominic Moore will answer the question “Where Does the Bible Come From?”

Class registration will begin shortly, with the low cost of $40 which includes as many classes as you wish to take. Registration for classes can be done on our website, www.llrhdm.com , and payment will be collected on your first day of class, either by cash or check. Join us for another great semester of learning and make new friends in the process.

See you in class!
