In August 1944, the Allies invaded the southern coast of France in an operation eventually named DRAGOON. The capture of the great ports of Toulon and Marseilles, along with the drive north through the Rhone River valley to Lyon and Dijon would be one of the most successful and controversial campaigns of World War II. Often overlooked as an afterthought for its contributions because of the June 1944 landings in Normandy and the simultaneous liberation of Rome, the campaign provided critical support to the Normandy-based armies as they joined to head east toward the Third Reich. This two-part lecture will initially describe Allied and Axis assets on the eve of battle then go ashore with the Allied forces as they head to the Rhine River. “On se voit là-bas!" See you there!

In this class, I will describe how a dispute with my neighbors, Mr. and Mr. Smith (not their real names), began when I believed their actions on their property had caused damage to mine. When my repeated requests to meet were ignored, I started considering a lawsuit, even though I had never been involved in one before and did not want to spend money hiring an attorney to represent me. Instead, I turned to AI for help, and in this talk I will explain which AI engine I used, what information I gave it, what it advised me to do, and how those steps ultimately shaped the result of the lawsuit.

Back in the days when 45s (remember those?) ruled the airwaves, record companies issued their records with an “A” side and a “B” side, intending DJs to play the A or “hit” side. But some DJs were independent cusses who flipped the record over and played the B side. And some of those B sides became huge HITS. We’re going to look at the A and B sides of some ‘60s and ‘70s records that may surprise you.

A ground breaking composition when it was first performed in Vienna 1824. First symphony that included a movement with vocal soloists and a large chorus. Served as a bridge between the classical and romantic periods of music. Beethoven was profoundly deaf by the time this work was first performed. The chorus, Ode to Joy, was chosen in 1985 as the official anthem of the European Union. Have I ever sung it? With performances and rehearsals close to 100 times as a member of the Choral Arts Society of Washington. And each and every time it was thrilling.

The Goodnight-Loving Trail, also known as the Goodnight Trail or the Loving Trail, was one of several routes used to drive herds of wild Texas cattle from Texas to more viable markets during the latter half of the nineteenth century. Charles Goodnight and Oliver Loving certainly left their mark on the history of Texas and the American West, yet did not blaze the trail that carries their name. Like most topics related to the American West, the lines between legend, fiction, and reality have become blurred with the passage of time. What is the real story behind the legend of Charles Goodnight, Oliver Loving, and the Goodnight-Loving Trail?

His dear friend, Clemenceau, the Prime Minister of France, stepped in and helped him to return to the world of art. During his last yers of life, he produced approximately fifty paintings of the water liliesi n his famous garden which he donated to France as his contribution to the war effort. They are now on display at L'Orangerie in Paris.

Join us for a two-part lecture commemorating Medal of Honor recipients from Fort Worth, Arlington, and Dallas. Course participants will get an introduction to each recipient’s life before they joined the military, the events and campaigns in which they participated in, and the heroic and self-sacrificing actions that justified their nomination for the Medal of Honor. These recipients saw action during World War II and the Korean and Vietnam Wars.

Plato’s Republic is one of the most influential and frequently misunderstood works in the Western Canon. It tackles some of the most fundamental questions of human existence such as “What is justice?”, “How should a society be structured to foster human flourishing?”, and “What is the nature of truth and reality.” Although it is often categorized as a work of political philosophy, it is first and foremost a literary masterpiece. Over the course of a month, we will read Plato’s text not merely as a collection of arguments, but as a complex work of dramatic art, exploring the tension between its philosophical claims and its literary form. No prior background in philosophy is necessary, only a willingness to read carefully and accept that some of the best questions are the ones that stay open.

But what makes a story powerful, and memorable? Is it vivid description of characters, problems, concepts, or solutions that helps us remember and repeat these stories?
We will cover these issues and discuss classic parables, allegories, and fables, and why we remember them.

- The fairy tale writing secret
- 5 ways to get a reader's attention
- How to keep readers reading what you wrote
- How setting and mood help a story tell itself
- How to write a book by simply writing simple scenes

Since the COVID-19 era, it’s often felt as though “all the news is bad.” Reports about international conflicts, worsening natural disasters, affordable housing shortages, and political discord dominate every news cycle and the feeds we receive on social media. There is woefully little reporting about the many encouraging developments worldwide, especially in the areas of health care, environmental science and renewable energy. This session will be devoted to those bright spots.

Can you keep a secret? The members of the most successful spy ring in the American Revolution could. The Culper spy ring was established in 1778 by George Washington, and the identities of its members were not uncovered during the war. In fact, most of the members were still a mystery until the 1930s, and some are still unknown.
George Washington saw that intelligence could make the difference between victory and defeat in a battle. During the war he established several spy rings and used many people. The individuals who became spies were from all walks of life; some were males and some females. There were spies of color, and spies as young as eight years old. They all knew the risk if caught, yet they were willing to put their lives on the line for their country.
This presentation will not only explore the people, but the methods they used and how their actions helped win the American Revolution. As one British officer said, “Washington did not really outfight the British, he simply out spied us.”

Texas was built by cattle drivers, gamblers, ranchers, rebels, musicians, and artists trying to capture a landscape bigger than reason. But many of the best stories never made it into the history books. In this four-week series, we’ll open the archives of TCU Press and explore the surprising people and moments that shaped Fort Worth and Texas. Each class brings one remarkable story to life through books, photographs, and art—sometimes with the authors who uncovered them.

How do families preserve wealth, engagement, and purpose across multiple generations?
Whether a family continues to operate a business or manages investments through a family office, long-term success requires more than financial performance alone. It requires intentional governance, clear guidelines, adaptive investment structures, and healthy relationship practices.
In this four-week seminar, we will explore the frameworks families have used over time to sustain capital, strengthen trust and prepare the next generation. Through discussion and real-world examples, participants will gain insight into how successful family enterprises balance stewardship, leadership, and legacy.

This class will open with a review of the mechanisms of sleep which were discussed in my spring semester course, "The Science of Sleep". However, it will focus more on the significance of dreams and nightmares. We will discuss how sleep effects our overall health and creativity, as well as how dreams are involved with problem solving and creativity. We will discuss topics such as lucid dreaming and how recurring nightmares can be resolved. The information will be based primarily on two books, "Why We Sleep" and "Nightmare Obscura". It is not necessary to read the books in order to participate in the course.

John Adams wrote, “The prevalence of debauchery, gambling, profaneness, and blasphemy, terrifies the best people upon the continent from trusting their sons and other relatives to the army.” In addition to facing the British Army, the most powerful in the world, General George Washington also had to contend with prostitution, venereal disease, drunkenness, and other vices among his troops. In the early days of the Revolution the Americans were short of manpower, which was partly due to the army’s reputation as a moral cesspool. As a result, some parents were reluctant to let their sons enlist.
Washington was forced to use punishment and fines to protect his army from itself and outside temptations. “That the sum of ten dollars shall be paid by every officer, and the sum of four dollars by every soldier, who shall enter or be sent into any hospital to be cured of the venereal disease.” This presentation will look at the problems that the Continental Army faced, and the solutions that solved those problems.

Drawing on selected Victorian verse, this lecture probes the cultural skirmishes between traditional Christian faith and modern skepticism in nineteenth-century Britain. We will explore the "withdrawing roar" of faith in Matthew Arnold's "Dover Beach" and the cosmic pessimism of Thomas Hardy's "God Forgotten," juxtaposed with the optimistic nature-mysticism of Elizabeth Barrett Browning. From John Henry Newman's self-forgetting humility to the "dappled" insights of Gerard Manley Hopkins and God's dogged pursuit in Francis Thompson's "The Hound of Heaven," we will evaluate as well as ponder how these poets navigated an era of faith, doubt, and the in-between.

Have you ever come home from a doctor visit to be met with the question, "What did the doctor say?". The more important question may be why did the doctor say nothing or appear to be unconcerned. I hope to give some insight as to how we doctors think and what we are listening for as you tell us of your concerns. I hope to make this a fun and educational presentation with real world anecdotes and scenarios from 40 years of practicing medicine in Fort Worth.

I'm going to answer the question of how Germany went from Kaiser to Fuhrer. We'll examine the Weimer Republic, the European challenges after WW1 and specifically the effects of the devastatingly punitive Versailles treaty on the people and government of Germany in the early 20th Century. We'll examine how Hitler was able to both rescue and condemn his adopted homeland. We'll do a deep dive into the everyday German and look at this event as though we were in Germany in 1919 and beyond.
