SUMMARY:Walter Cronkite: And That's The Way It Is
DESCRIPTION:2016 marks the 100th birthday of Walter Cronkite. In an era when the “mainstream media” is a convenient whipping boy for any politician upset by unfavorable coverage\, it is hard to imagine that at one time a network news anchorman was voted “the most trusted man in America.”  How times have changed! \nWalter Cronkite was one of the most widely read news reporters covering World War II.  Cronkite’s reporting on the war was read by millions of Americans and he was highly respected for his clear concise prose and great ability to explain complex events. After the end of the Second World War\, he came back and worked for CBS news. \nAlthough never one of Edward R Murrow’s “boys\,”  Cronkite quickly built a sterling reputation at CBS for superb reporting\, insightful analysis\, and calm\, steady work at the anchor booth.   When the network decided to go to a 30 minute nightly national newscast\, Walter Cronkite was the logical choice to be the anchorman. He was the man America turned to to learn about the space program\, political conventions\, elections\, Vietnam\, and\, most memorably\, the murder of Pres. John F. Kennedy. \nPlease join us for a fascinating and memorable multimedia presentation looking at the life and career of one of the most respected American broadcast journalists of all time. \n Please Note: There is a fee to attend this program and registration is required\, but easy. Please contact the venue for more information. \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 Founders did not give the role of the First Lady so much as a moment’s thought by the Founding Fathers. In fact\, The nation did not even widely use the title “First Lady” itself 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 Lady who 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  \n  \n

SUMMARY:Gregory Peck
DESCRIPTION:If your mental picture of Gregory Peck is that of a straight-shooting\, honest\, compassionate\, masculine but sensitive man who would always have your back and always stand up for the underdog\, you’d be very close to the truth!  While far from being a perfect man\, Gregory Peck was a good man who was deeply admired within the industry and beloved by fans. When President Nixon put the liberal Democrat Gregory Peck and his so-called “enemies list\,” Peck Ward as a badge of honor. Peck was also given a true badge of honor when President Lyndon B. Johnson awarded him the Presidential Medal of Freedom. \nAs we talk about the films of Gregory Peck\, of course\, your mind will leap to his iconic portrayal of Atticus Finch in “To Kill a Mockingbird.” However\, Park made almost 60 films beginning in 1944 with “Days Of Glory” and concluding in 1991 with the fabulous “Other Peoples Money.” Among his great classics are “Roman Holiday\,” “The Guns of Navarone\,” “Spellbound\,” “Moby Dick\,” and Gentleman’s AGreement.” \nYou may be surprised to find that Gregory Peck was also a very committed liberal activist. He stood in favor of the Civil Rights Movement and stood against Joe McCarthy\, the war in Vietnam\, and raised money to defeat segregationist candidates in major political races. His life makes for a fascinating multimedia presentation that you will not want to miss! \nIMPORTANT – REGISTRATION!\nRegistration is free! Click here to register. However\, be aware that the program starts at 1:00 PM Chicago time and 2:00 PM New York time. Adjust accordingly!
