SUMMARY:Tom Hanks
DESCRIPTION:If you were watching TV in 1980\, you might have noticed a curly haired 26-year-old named Tom Hanks starring in an innocuous new show about roommates who dressed up in drag in order to live in a women’s only residence. How could we imagine the silly star of “Bosom Buddies” would go on to become of the greatest stars in the entire history of the movies? Tom Hanks’ long career has led him to be compared with the great Jimmy Stewart – and the comparison seems more accurate with each passing year. \nLike Jimmy Stewart\, Tom Hanks has starred in almost every genre of movie. Hanks has been a smash doing comedy\, (“Splash” “Big”) drama (“Saving Private Ryan\,” “The Post”) and been a leading man in romantic films (“You’ve Got Mail.” “Sleepless In Seattle) Hanks has starred in historical epics (“Sully\, Apollo 13”) and has won two Oscars amidst his five nominations. Clearly Tom Hanks has built a legendary career\, appearing in almost eighty films. And at only 61\, he has the potential to keep working for a long time! \nPlease join us for this great multimedia presentation on the life and career of Tom Hanks. PLEASE NOTE: This event is not open to the public. \n

SUMMARY:Brad Pitt and Tom Cruise
DESCRIPTION: Brad Pitt and Tom Cruise got their breaks in the movies because of their looks. But both actors have proven to be more than just a “pretty boy!” Both Brad Pitt and Tom Cruise have had astounding careers that continue to grow and shape American popular culture!  \nBoth of these remarkable actors has become critically acclaimed\, taken on a wide range of roles and starred in some of the biggest money-making movies of all time.

SUMMARY:Super Tuesday 2020 - The Election Takes Shape
DESCRIPTION:Super Tuesday\, 2020\, is shaping up to be one of the most important and one of the most unorthodox primary days in presidential election history! \nOn the night before Super Tuesday\, three major candidates dropped out and endorsed former Vice President Biden. Will their endorsements come in time to affect the vote? Meanwhile\, former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg has spent over half a billion dollars on TV ads despite not running in any of the first four contests. How he will affect the vote and how the Bernie Sanders movement stands up to the new moderate coalition is going to be fascinating!

SUMMARY:The Democrats Who Want To Be President
DESCRIPTION:(Please note – given the fluid nature of American politics\, any of the information herein is subject to change! :-) The actual presentation will be up-to-the-minute!) \nPresident Trumo and Vice-President Pence are all but guaranteed to be the Republican nominees in 2020.

SUMMARY:Charles Lindbergh - A Life In Three Acts
DESCRIPTION:Charles Lindbergh led one of the most unique lives of any American! \nLindbergh’s life played out in three acts. The first is the most celebrated and best known. The “aw shucks” small town boy with a passion for flying became the first person ever to fly solo across the Atlantic. “Lucky Lindy” was the most famous\, popular and revered man of his time. Everyone around the world admired and respected him! \nThe second act of the life Col. Charles Lindbergh took on a much darker tone. When\nhis infant son was kidnapped from crib while his parents were at home\, Lindbergh was again the biggest news story in the country. While police frantically searched for the kidnapped boy\, Lindbergh did everything in his power to find his son. He had gangsters trying to help\, followed “psychics” to obscure locations and accompanied an innocent civilian who strangely became the go-between with the kidnappers.  \nAfter the boy’s body was discovered\, Charles Lindbergh became a star witness in the second “Crime Of The Century.” (Click here to read about the first!) The verdict in that trial became as controversial and widely debated as would the O. J. Simpson case near the end of the century. Books are still being written about it! \nThe third act of Lindbergh’s life is the least known and the most bizarre. \nCharles Lindbergh\, the All-American hero\, became on of the nation’s most prominent supporters of the Nazi movement in Germany. Both in America and in Europe\, Lindbergh lent his famous name and considerable influence to try and convince the USA to support Hitler! \nYou will be amazed at the fascinating and complex life of Charles Lindbergh!

SUMMARY:The Mafia Battle For New York
DESCRIPTION:  \nThe Mafia And The Battle For New York \nFrom the Godfather to the Sopranos\, from Capone to Boardwalk Empire\, America is fascinated with the Mafia. And the story of the Mafia wars for the control of New York City is among the most fascinating stories in American History. \nThe Mafia’s roots were in an extortion gang called The Black Hand. They terrorized Enrico Caruso and lured an American policeman\, Joseph Petrosino\, to his death in Italy. (Click here to read this amazing story.) \n \nAfter a series of bloody wars that dominated the headlines and provided fodder for dozens of movies\, Lucky Luciano  consolidated power\, arranged for the drug trade and formed a national board of directors for the Mafia! Among the fascinating personalities covered in this fascinating multimedia presentation are Meyer Lanky\, Al Capone\, Frank Costello\, Nucky Thompson\, and many others – you will be amazed at how organized crime became one of the biggest businesses in America \n

SUMMARY:1920 - History In Perspective
DESCRIPTION:1920 was a fascinating year that ushered in an amazing decade!  \nAlthough Americans tend to think of “The Roaring 20s” as the era of flappers\, bathtub gin\, Al Capone\, a booming stock market\, and a much more liberal sexual atmosphere\, the decade was far more complex. The atmosphere of social liberalism was being counterbalanced by the non-stop election of conservative Republicans\, a major pushback from organized religion\, and signs of a deteriorating economy despite seeming prosperity.  \n1920 saw two seemingly opposite trends converge – Americans elected very conservative\, old-fashioned politicians at the same time they were beginning to flout conventional norms of behavior. As an example: we outlawed the sale of alcohol and almost  immediately there grew a culture of drinking\, new criminal organizations to sell booze and the glorification of those who opposed the very government they had just elected! \nWe will focus in on the specific year of 1920 – taking a deep dive into the culture\, sports\, movies\, economy and major news stories of a most fascinating\, transitional year!

SUMMARY:Sherman's March To The Sea - Saving America By Destroying A Rebellion
DESCRIPTION:Sherman’s March To The Sea – Saving America By Destroying A Rebellion\n No military action in the bloody Civil War was probably more controversial than Sherman’s March To The Sea. After the War\, traitors who were inclined to respect Grant and revere Lincoln were unreconstructed in their hatred of William T. Sherman. Why? The brutal\, unprecedented destruction of enormous swaths of the South hastened the end of the War and sped the end of the barbarous\,immoral and inhumane practice of the enslavement\, rape and murder of the descendants of kidnap victims. Sherman hastened the demise of that unspeakable activity. However the utter desolation of the lives and lands of so many White Southerners had a long-lasting impact on race relations and politics.  \nSherman was a complex man\, brilliant and fragile\, harsh and yet sentimental. His troops adored him\, leaders of the terrorist rebellion feared him and Abraham Lincoln recognized his invaluable patriotic service to our nation. \nIn this fast paced and constantly fascinating multimedia presentation\, we will learn how Gen. William Sherman and his dedicated troops easily crushed the army of traitors who stood in their way – in the process making military history and helping save the republic. Add to that his friendship with General Grant\, his deep respect for President Lincoln\, his amazing life after the war – they all make for a compelling and fascinating multimedia history presentation!   \n

SUMMARY:America's Greatest First Ladies
DESCRIPTION: \nWho were America’s Greatest First Ladies?\nNobody really knows! \nToday\, the press and public pay great attention to the President’s spouse. However\, the role of First Lady was not given so much as a moment’s thought by the Founding Fathers. In fact\, the title “First Lady” itself was not even widely used until the 1850s! Nonetheless\, our First Ladies represent an amazing array of accomplished women\, each with a unique story and a unique place in American History. \nIn this original series I will present a list of my top ten favorite First Ladies.  I promise that at least a couple of my choices will be women you would have never considered! \nOf course you know about the legacy of Eleanor Roosevelt. But did you know that the lives of children\, women\, and pediatricians are made better every day in real ways by the legacy of First Lady Harriet Lane? Or that almost a century before Jackie Kennedy we had a younger First Ladywho became an icon of style in the White House while raising adorable children? (Click here to read about Frances Cleveland\, pictured on the magazine cover.) \nAlthough there are so many fascinating stories in this multimedia presentation! It is not merely a collection of trivia.  Rather we will examine how the historical roles of women have changed from the days of marvelous Martha Washington\, a slave owner\, to modern Michelle Obama\, the descendent of slaves! \n  \n

SUMMARY:1945
DESCRIPTION:Join me in our time capsule for this amazing look back at one of the most important years in the history of the world: 1945. \nIn 1945 World War II finally came to an end. After the deaths of both Adolph Hitler and Franklin D. Roosevelt\, the evil Nazi empire finally surrendered. In the Pacific Theatre\, fierce battles came to an end with the dropping of the world’s first atomic bombs. The destruction of Hiroshima and Nagasaki ended the war – but ushered in a vastly more dangerous era. \nWe will look at the most popular movies\, radio shows and songs of 1945\, discover what famous were born and which died during the year\, learn about what everyday consumer items cost and look back at the amazing\, ultimately heartbreaking World Series run of the Chicago Cubs! \nAmerica 75 years ago was very different – and tremendously important to how we live today.  \n  \n
