Lindbergh, Babe Ruth, Henry Ford, the "Roaring Twenties." Black Tuesday in 1929, bread lines, Hoovervilles. FDR, "The only fear we have is fear itself." Alphabet agencies, slow, sputtering recovery. The "Harlem Renaissance,” Hemingway, Gershwin, Porter. "Gone with the Wind." Father Coughlin preaches to millions from WJR, Detroit. Nylon from DuPont. The DC-3 Begins to carry us across the nation but Knute Rockne and Will Rogers die in crashes. From the top of The Empire State Building you can see the storm clouds of war; China, Spain and Hitler. We withdraw, isolationism grows in a national debate. Fringe antisemitisms and Nazi sympathies move toward the center powered by Lindbergh and Coughlin. In 1939, my father takes me to the World's Fair in New York and I remember "Railroads on Parade." Months later Germany invades Poland. We will visit the thirties through audio, video and thoughtful consideration. Matt Hermes is a retired scientist and inventor.

PPG1110 Bridging the Gap Thursday, 10:45 a.m.-12:15 p.m., Rolling Green Village We interact with people every day, from the grocery store clerk to your neighbor or loved ones. Most conversations are benign and go smoothly. But what about when they don’t? Have you ever said, “I thought I heard…” or “I thought you meant…” It's confusing when you and the other person are not on the same page.Maybe you feel disappointment, frustration, or even anger. It's normal to think, “They are behaving this way just to frustrate me.” While this may or may not be true in every circumstance, there are tools and ways to get to the heart of what’s happening. You will discover that you are uniquely wired to think and behave a certain way, and so are those around you. You will learn techniques to identify these differences, which will result in stronger relationships and better communication. We are made for human interaction, so let’s learn how to do this better in a fun environment. This six-week course ends April 30.
