Join OLLI for an afternoon at the historic Galesburg Orpheum Theatre on Monday, June 1.  We will take a charter coach to Galesburg and begin with lunch at the Packinghouse Company.  We will then head to the historic Orpheum Theatre, a beautifully restored venue built in the Vaudeville days of the early 1900s, for a tour and a screening of the classic 1950s film, Sunset Boulevard.  Nominated for 11 Academy awards, this example of film noir is widely accepted as a classic in American cinematic history.  After the film, Todd Heidt, Assistant Professor of German at Knox College, will moderate a short discussion on the film and its Austrian-born writer and director, Billy Wilder.

Have you had an interesting traveling experience you'd like to share?  

Next Fall, OLLI would like to debut a new Class: "Look Where I Went."  Similarly to "Look What I Did," we are seeking four different presenters, one for each 1-hour class on Wednesdays in October, 2015.  

If you have visited an interesting place and would like to share what you have learned about its culture and history, we would love to make your unique observations a part of OLLI Classes this Fall. 

If you are interested in presenting, please contact John Dust, a member of the Curriculum Committee, at WaywardPilot@aol.com.
