The last luncheon of the semester and thoughts about the semester

Attendance at the luncheons was down this semester, and a month ago I pondered whether to continue them or not in the future. Eventually I decided not to worry about it as long as the people who attend have a good time. It also helped that a couple of people remarked at a recent luncheon on how helpful it was to exchange information at the luncheons about various topics relating to being a retired person in college.

Having gotten beyond worrying about attendance, I went ahead with two luncheons in May even though attendance often falls off at the end of the semester. On Tuesday, there were only four of us: Mike Carliner, Benson Simon, Paul Zavattero, and myself, but the discussions were good and, more importantly, people seemed to enjoy themselves.

Today's Luncheon

Attendees: Louise Lovell, Paul Zavattero, Ed Coover, Doug Jones, Karen Eckart. Discussions on declaring a major to obtain a degree, Spanish courses, music, and art.
