Lifelong Learning in Retirement Classes Are Back!!

Welcome to our Fall Semester of Lifelong Learning in Retirement at the Highlands (LLRH)! Our 4 weeks of classes will begin Monday, October 28 with classes running Monday through Wednesday until November 20. You are welcome to attend any or all classes for a small registration fee of $40/semester. Each semester we try to bring you a variety of topics covering arts, science, history and foreign policy aimed to stretch your minds and keep you thinking. We will begin with a crowd-pleaser session led by John Abeln on Clint Eastwood, his characters and his films. Then we’ll get a bit more serious as we begin a University of Arizona Science Series covering Black Holes, Exoplanets and New Plastics. Dr. David Baker will help us understand how time flows, or does it? How do space and time relate to each other?

Other series include 4-part Great Decisions Series created by the Foreign Policy Administration– Topics this fall include Climate Technology and Competition, US-China Trade Rivalry, High Seas Treaty and Pandemic Preparedness. If you did not participate in the Great Decisions Series last Spring but are interested in these topics this Fall, contact Prudy Abeln [email protected] for help
in ordering the reading materials.
Astronomy 101 – teaching us about telescopes and observation aids while we learn more about what is up in the night sky (2-part Series) taught by Dr. Bryan Shumaker
Living in a Simulation (2-part series) brought to us by our own Alan Jones

We will learn more about the Shays’ Rebellion when John Lenzi shares some well researched little-known facts and helps us understand the grievances that led to this military confrontation in 1787.

Offerings in the arts include a performance by The Fred Fox Wind Quintet from the UA School of Music And our favorite docent, Susie Heintz, will bring to life French Impressionist Paul Cezanne.

We have three tours this semester. 1) Another Guided walk in the Tortolita Preserve led by our own Highlands resident, David Barker; 2) a docent-led tour of the Center for Creative

Photography; and (3) U of A Richard F. Caris Mirror Lab followed by a celebratory end-of- semester lunch.
