Family history research requires putting people in a place at a time. Geography and related resources are helpful tools in finding ancestors. Clues as to why people moved, where they came from, how they moved, and where they went can often be determined by looking at the terrain, climate, and geography. Maps, charts, gazetteers, and online geography-related resources are abundant and indispensable. This three-hour overview of resources will be lecture and hands-on in the class. Please plan on at least 12 hours for the Advance Assignments before class to maximize benefit.

Following the success of D-day and the Campaign in Normandy, the Allies still had to liberate France before they could concentrate on the Low Countries. This class will take an intensive look at many of the actions of this pivotal timeframe for the battlefields of Europe during the Second World War. The course focuses on the ill-advised and tragic “Operation Market-Garden,” an Allied attempt to drive through the Netherlands and into Germany, as well as the Battles of Aachen, the Hurtgen Forest, and the Bulge, followed by the need to seize bridges over the Rhine, including the Bridge at Remagen.

Fifty years ago this year, Bruce Blackman penned a song the he thought had promise. His new band recorded the 45 RPM and it was released in September 1975 and went nowhere. By March 1976, his car had been repossessed, and the rent was due. Then the phone rang…. Blackman, a singer/songwriter, founded the Atlanta band Starbuck whose song ”Moonlight Feels Right” became a top ten smash and remains one of the defining tunes of the 1970s. He joins OLLI's Chris Jones for a discussion of his story and his latest projects.

The 20th century Welsh poet and Anglican priest R. S. Thomas (1913-2000) left us a rich body of work that grapples with the silence of God and the dance of faith and doubt. Through stark imagery, raw honesty, and a sense of divine absence, Thomas' work offers profound meditations on the complexities of the life of faith, with doubt as a deep, necessary part of authentic spiritual experience.

Humans are inherently musical, so it is no surprise that musical experiences can significantly impact individuals. This seminar will explore how music affects humans socially, developmentally, cognitively, and culturally. We will investigate how our brains respond to music, how musical content can trick our brains into hearing things that are not present, how music can shape us as individuals from birth to death, and how cultural exposure affects our preference and understanding of musical information. Whether you enjoy music as a classically-trained musician, a pop-music fanatic, or a casual listener, you are likely never to consume music in the same way again.
