Lifelong Learning in Retirement Classes Are Back!!

Dear all! 
Welcome to our 2025 Fall Semester of Lifelong Learning in Retirement at the Highlands (LLRH)!
Our 4 weeks of classes will begin Monday, October 27 with classes running Monday, Tuesday
and Fridays until November 21. You are welcome to attend any or all classes for a small
registration fee of $40/semester for residents. Each semester we try to bring you a variety of
topics covering arts, science, history and foreign policy aimed at stretching your minds and
keeping you thinking.

We will begin with a crowd-pleaser session led by John Abeln on Meryl Streep, her characters
and her films. Then we’ll get a bit more serious as we begin a University of Arizona Science
Series covering Communication – ranging from communicating with our dogs, instilling human
emotions into computers and conversations we may have with unknown cosmic beings.
Also included this Fall is a 4-part Great Decisions Series created by the Foreign Policy
Administration– Topics this fall include International Cooperation on Climate, the Future of
NATO and European Security, AI and National Security and finally, American Policy in the Middle
East. If you did not participate in the Great Decisions Series last Spring but are interested in
these topics this Fall, contact Prudy Abeln prudy_abeln@hotmail.com for help in ordering the
reading materials.
We will learn more about how our American Democracy began when John Lenzi shares some
well researched little-known facts about close elections in 1824 and 1828.

Offerings in the arts include a performance by the Cello Quartet from the UA School of Music.
And our favorite docent, Susie Heintz, will bring to life Art of the Southwest from Taos to
Tucson.

Alan Jones, a former Boeing employee, will share his insights into the Rise, Fall and Uncertain
Future of the Boeing Corporation. And don’t miss Caleb Deupree’s presentation on Stories We
Tell about the End of the World.

We have three tours this semester. 1) A tour of the historic Fox Theater, its art Deco style with
backstage stories to share; 2) a docent-led tour of The Presidio; and (3) a tour of the new
Marana Aquatic and Recreation Center. Our morning tours will be followed by a lunch at a local
restaurant for those who are available.

Registration for classes can be found on our website www.llrhdm.com
Come join us for a month of intellectual stimulation presented by experts in their fields!
