Session 7 - February, 3, 2005

Charles Lindberg - by Ed Flanagan

Ed Flanagan has had an interest in Charles Lindberg for several decades. His extensive personal library on Lindberg attests to that. Those of us who attended his talk were enriched with Ed's extensive knowledge of Lindberg’s life and entertained with trivia questions. We are looking forward to next year when Ed promises to tell us about Charles’s wife, Ann Morrow Lindberg. Ed recommends books by Charles Lindberg: “Spirit of St Louis” and “We”. Other books are “Lindberg” by A. Scott Berg and the 5 biographical journals by Ann Morrow Lindberg.

Session 8 - February 17, 2005

Albert Einstein - by Gaia Davies

Gaia Davies was fortunate to have met Albert Einstein when she was a little girl in Princeton, New Jersey. She gave us many interesting antidotes about her impressions of him from a childs point of view. For the audience he came to life as a child loving and caring man and not just as the great scientist and absent minded professor type.

Session 9 - March 3, 2005

Herbert Hoover - Grace Shinell

Grace Shinell, writer and historian, presented an exceptionally well informed address on Herbert Hoover. While the focus was on Hoover, attendees also learned a great deal about U.S. political history in general covering the early to mid 1900th Century period.

Session 10 - March 17, 2005

Sayyid Qutb - by Marti King

Marti became interested in Sayyid Qutb, "The Father of Islamic Fundimentalism" while taking classes at the Community College.
Qutb lived from 1906 to 1966. He had memorized the Quran by age 10. For a number of years he worked for the Egyptian Ministry of Education. In 1950 he got his masters degree from the U of Colorado and returned to Egypt. During his 2 years in the USA he was very upset that there is separtation of Church and State. He was a member of the Muslim Brotherhood at the time that it turned violent. In 1954 Nasser banned the Muslim Brotherhood and Qutb was sent to prison for treason. There he wrote the "Signposts Along the Way" which was a call to arms with instructions on how to take over the world. He also wrote a 30 volume "Shades of the Quran" which made the Quran understandable to the masses. He was hanged for treason in 1966.
