In our ongoing effort to provide seniors with engaging educational opportunities Thorne Crest Senior Living Community is partnering with retired Riverland Community College administrator and local historian Gary Schindler to provide a monthly Historical Lecture Series, beginning September 25th and running through November 20th.
Schindler will be presenting the following historical topics:
“Songs from ‘Your Hit Parade’ in World War II” (Sept. 25 • 2pm)
Listeners will hear the original hit songs from performers from 1941 through 1945, as determined by the producers of ‘Your Hit Parade’.
“The Big Bands from Freeborn County to the United States – 1937 to 1945”
(Oct. 16 • 2pm)
This review of the Big Band Era will examine bands that played through southern Minnesota and then focus on the leaders, bands and tunes that dominated popular music in the late 1930’s through the end of WWII.
“Drama in the Kennedy Limousine – November 22, 1963” (Nov. 20 • 2pm)
As we approach the 57thanniversary of the assassination of President Kennedy, this lecture will examine the reaction of the people in the President’s limousine; what they said and what they saw over the course of eleven seconds that changed history forever.
Participants will be able to watch the lectures live, online, or call-in to listen to the presentations. Linking instructions are provided above. Contact Catherine/Thorne Crest at 507-373-2311 for more information.
