Looking ahead to the Spring Semester

We're planning a behind-the-scene tour of The Clarice Smith Center for the Performing Arts.  Benson Simon organized one last year which was very popular, and he will try for a duplicate event next semester.  We'll try for two tours, one for people on campus Monday/Wednesday and another for the Tuesday/Thursday crowd.


Yesterday's luncheon was the last for this semester, and among the topics of conversation were whether people had plans for which courses they'll take next.  Unusual for me, I have determined my choices early.  Becky Tidman is uncertain if her travel plans will allow her to register for any, but she will attend some of our luncheons between trips.  Benson says he'll consult with some of the professors before choosing.  I think that's a good approach.


Yesterday's attendees:


David Lee
Fran Steiner
Benson Simon
Becky Tidman
Doug Jones
Richard Marshall

A cold, rainy day...

...but a nice luncheon.  On the drive home, I once again thought about what interesting conversations take place on these gatherings.  It also occurred to me that the members tend to be good listeners as well.  Plenty to listen to, chuckle at the wit, and sometimes later mull over.

Today's group:

Becky Tidman
Benson Simon
Ed Pulik
David Miley
Ed Coover
Jay Miller
Doug Jones
Michael Carliner

There'll be one more luncheon this semester, next Wednesday the 10th.
