107 Days at Sea: The Journey That Changed Everything
At 63, Jill Chalsty boarded a ship alone, grieving her husband's death and battling cancer. What began as a voyage around the world became far more than a trip. In this lecture, Jill shares the story behind her memoir "Packets of Hope," inviting participants to travel alongside her through the ports she visited, the people she met, and the reflections that transformed personal adversity into strength and global impact. Jill demonstrates how one person's courage can create ripples that span continents. Participants are encouraged to read her memoir, available free at www.packetsofhope.com, before the presentation.

A Conversation About Mystery Novel Series
Many of us are addicted to reading mysteries, and can't wait for the next novel about our favorite characters. In this session, we will speculate about what fuels this addiction. Our examples will center on three contemporary American novelists who publish a new novel every 24 months or so: William Kent Krueger, Deborah Crombie, and Donna Leon, but we also won't ignore the classic mystery novelists and characters from the past. The intention of this session is to share insights on mystery series in general, with specific examples to support our speculations.
