L E A R N I N G I S F O R E V E R | Osher Winter 2019 Seminars | 3

The Osher Lifelong Learning Institute (UDOLLI) began 24 years ago as the University of Dayton Institute for Learning in Retirement or UDILR. Since 2004, we have been proud members of the Osher Lifelong Learning Network, a group of more than 100 institutes across the country dedicated to meeting the needs of adult learners over 50 years of age who wish to gather for the joy of learning and personal fulfillment.

OUR MISSION STATEMENTThe purpose of the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute at the University of Dayton is to offer adults 50 years or better a wide variety of seminars based on the peer-learning concept and designed to be intellectually stimulating in an informal and noncompetitive environment.

We are a vibrant communityWe are adults with wide-ranging interests in art, current events, health and fitness, history, literature, music, religion and science. A curriculum committee works with the Executive Director of Special Programs and Continuing Education to select our curriculum on the basis of member requests, the expertise of moderators, variety and balance. Moderators include University of Dayton (UD) professors and community professionals who lead peer-to-peer informal lecture and discussion seminars that typically meet once a week for two hours, for four to eight weeks. The summer session is two one-day sessions.

Our seminars are noncreditThere are neither tests nor grades, nor educational requirements. Participation is essential, ranging from keeping up with assigned readings and contributing to seminar discussion to sharing the results of one’s own research. A majority of the seminars are held in the 1700 South Patterson Building; others are on the UD main campus with a few at off-site locations, such as the Boonshoft Museum of Discovery. The map on pages 40-41 identifies the location of Daniel J. Curran Place and other UD buildings.

UDOLLI is a cooperative ventureWe rely on the contributions and participation, both in seminars and out, of each member. Members assist the Executive Director of Special Programs and Continuing Education by moderating seminars, coordinating lecture series, leading small group discussions, organizing activities and volunteer projects, serving on the board of advisors and committees, acting as seminar liaisons, helping in the office and volunteering for all other tasks that keep us going.

Becoming a member of UDOLLI is easyRegistering for seminars is simple and convenient. Page 48 gives complete registration information and procedures. Once you register for a seminar, you automatically become a UDOLLI participating member for the current academic year. The term of membership conforms to the academic calendar, beginning in September and ending in June.

Friends of the Institute are individuals who donate $80 or more each year to support UDOLLI’s goals; Life Members are individuals making a one-time donation of $2,000 or more; and Distinguished Service Life Members are individuals giving UDOLLI extraordinary service. Life and Distinguished Members may attend seminars at no cost.

MONDAY SEMINARSRock and Roll: The First 25 Influences NEWWe will hear and study the influences of these early rock and roll icons on later artists: Buddy Holly’s influences on the Beatles; Woody Guthrie on Bob Dylan; Ricky Nelson on the teen idols of the 50s and 60s. The great sounds of Eddie Cochran, Bo Diddley, Bill Italey, B.B. King and many more influenced the second tier of artists from the Stones to Crosby, Stills and Nash, music and videos galore.

6 Mondays, January 14-February 25 (No Seminar on January 21)

9:30-11:30 a.m., Daniel J. Curran Place

Gary Ruff is a retired high school teacher with a B.S. from Wright State University and M.S. from the University of Dayton. He has taught over 40 seminars for the UDOLLI program including many styles of music, especially Rock & Roll. He feels this seminar will incorporate the knowledge and experience he has obtained from past seminars. Gary has served on the UDOLLI Board of Advisors for four years.

Poems to Live By NEWMost book clubs rarely select a volume of poetry. During April’s National Poetry month, rarely does one read a poem a day—but you know the doctor’s prescription: a poem a day keeps the doctor away. Let’s read life-changing poems.



Gary Mitchner is a Professor Emeritus and retired chair of the English department at Sinclair Community College. Gary was a former Poet Laureate at Sinclair and a current Poet Laureate of UDOLLI.

What Did You Do in the War, Sister? NEWDennis has been asked by the American Jewish Committee of Saint Louis to develop a curriculum for high school and middle school students which incorporates his book, What Did You Do in the War, Sister? How Belgian Nuns Defied and Deceived the Nazis in World War Two, into the curriculum. The AJC plan is to introduce the curriculum into the public and parochial schools in the Saint Louis area. Therefore, he would appreciate the opportunity to test and obtain feedback about his proposed curriculum from members of UDOLLI before it’s submitted to the schools in Saint Louis. Students in the seminar would be expected to read the book in preparation of the discussion. Dennis will also discuss what he has learned about writing, self-publishing and marketing a first book. The topic may be helpful to anyone who is considering diving into the deep end of the book-writing/publishing pool.




Required Text: What Did You Do in the War, Sister? Available at libraries, purchase at Saint Marks’ Bookstore, Amazon.com (audio version available) or from Dennis Turner. Price is $20.

Advance Preparation: Read several chapters of the book.

Before teaching in law school, Professor Turner was an Assistant County Prosecutor and a Magistrate Judge. He was one of the original five faculty members for the UD law school when it was reopened in 1974. Over that time, Professor Turner has taught a wide variety of courses, many of which focused on litigation. He has served as Assistant Dean, Acting Dean, Director of the Clinic, Director of the Legal Profession Program, Director of the Standardized Client Program, Mock Trial and Moot Court coach. For two Sabbaticals, he worked with English barristers trying criminal cases. He has taught in the University of Notre Dame London Program and has taken students on two-week excursions to study law in Italy and England multiple times. He has been chosen Outstanding Faculty Member of the Year several times by UDSL students, and was given the university-wide Award for Teaching.

Art and War: A Range of Considerations NEWWar is a worthy topic for our exploration, since it has been, unfortunately, a consistent conflict in the history of humans. This particular approach, however, will consider how the world of art responds to war’s demands and to war’s effects on the human condition. The following questions will be fodder for our discussions: 1. Is all “war art” propaganda?2. Is “war art” universal?3. Does “war art” romanticize/demonize?4. Is the artist an appropriate “watchdog” of society?

We will focus on the art of literature: The Things They Carried, Tim O’Brien’s short story cycle; and When the Emperor was Divine, Julie Otsuka’s novel. But, we will also touch on a range of artistic expressions: Maya Lin’s D.C. memorial, Ken Burns’ Vietnam, and Dorothea Lange’s photos of Japanese internment camps and war posters.


12:30-2:30 p.m., Daniel J. Curran Place

Required text: The Things They Carried Amazon.com $10.76; abebooks.com $3.99

When the Emperor was Divine, Amazon.com $12.56; abebooks.com $3.99, Check at Half-Price Books and libraries

This will be Joe and Anne Pici’s 11th team-taught UDOLLI seminar. After Joe’s 53 years of teaching creative writing and literature at UD, he wants to share with a different audience certain elements from one of his most successful courses there. Anne’s 30 years of teaching composition and rhetoric and her ongoing years of editing, make her itchy to get out of grammar and into this jewel of a novel.


Earth’s Environment—Past, Present and Future NEWExamine current environmental issues, such as climate change and increasing rate of species extinctions, from the perspective of environmental and ecological changes over geologic and historic time. Consider how processes that brought about changes in Earth’s ecology over geologic time compare to human-caused changes occurring in historic time.

He holds B.S. degrees in forestry and wildlife biology from the University of Michigan. Ricardo has been an avid birder and fossil collector since his youth in Dayton.

Alfred Hitchcock—Life and Death, Real and Reel—The Master of Suspense NEWThe seminar is the first of three featuring Alfred Hitchcock’s career in the motion picture business. This version will cover his early years of producing films in Europe starting in 1899. Black and white films both silent and sound will be viewed and discussed. We will discover how his style developed, his interaction with his stars and family, the successes and failures, and the struggles for funding and production rights. We’ll take “The Thirty-Nine Steps” (1935) to “The Man Who Knew Too Much” (1934) as “The Lady Vanishes” (1938) with “The Lodger” (1926), plus a few more. Later, additional seminars will cover his move to Hollywood and his turn to color motion pictures.

He has been a commercial photographer for 60+ years, a photo editor for six local history books, and has presented UDOLLI seminars on Dayton History, Photography and our Aviation Heritage.

Jazz Vocalists NEWThe human voice was the first musical instrument. Yet, in jazz, the use of the human voice has always been regarded as a point of argument as to whether an artist is or isn’t a jazz singer. Jazz involves improvisation, built on musical conventions. However, defining what it takes to be a jazz singer is controversial. Much of the opinion is a matter of personal taste, greatly influenced by the singer’s accompaniment, rather than the singer’s intrinsic qualities.


What is a jazz singer? This is a very difficult, if not impossible term to adequately define. The inclusion of many vocalists into the genre of jazz singer is controversial, while many other singers have a nearly universal agreement of identification within the genre. A jazz singer should have a beautiful sound, unerring sense of time, interaction with fellow jazz instrumentalists and some form of improvisation.

We will demonstrate the various types of jazz singing, such as blues singing, standards singing, jazz compositions, vocalese and scat singing. Many vocalists stayed within one or a few of these styles of singing, while others covered the entire range.

We will: cover female vocalists, many known by a single name, such as Billie, Ella, Sarah, Carmen and Dinah; discuss contemporary singers such as Roberta Gambarini and Cecile McLorin Salvant; cover male vocalists from Louis, Fats, Joe Williams, Johnny Hartman and Mark Murphy; discuss contemporary singers such as Kurt Elling and Gregory Porter; and cover jazz vocal groups.



Bill Lavin recently retired after 31 years as a radiologist at Miami Valley Hospital. He minored in jazz studies at Duke University, studying with Jerry Coker, Dwike Mitchell, Willie Ruff and Mary Lou Williams. He has offered History of Jazz courses at UDOLLI during the past two academic years.

Estate Planning for Ohio Residents The seminar will provide information about estate planning, estate administration and elder law planning to Ohio residents.



John Clough has been practicing estate planning, trust and estate administration in Ohio for 22 years. He is a certified specialist in estate planning, trust and probate law in Ohio.

Early Country MusicThe seminar will explore the history, geography, sociology, economics and—of course—the music of one of America’s most distinctive and influential cultural phenomena: starting with early radio, phonograph, and performance venues. We will then cover the most influential performers of the 1920s through the 1950s, growth in audiences in the U.S. and worldwide, influences of technology, and such branches of the country music tree such as honky-tonk, western swing and rockabilly.



Recommended, not required: Country Music: A Cultural and Stylistic History, by Jocelyn R. Neal, Oxford University Press, 2013 ($65 new, $22+ used) or 2018 ($70+) at Amazon.com

Last Hope Island—Britain, Occupied Europe and the Brotherhood that Helped Turn the Tide of War NEWThis seminar is based on the book Last Hope Island, by Lynne Olson. When the Nazi blitzkrieg rolled over continental Europe in the early days of World War II, the city of London became a refuge for the governments and armed forces of six occupied nations who escaped there to continue the fight. So, too, did General Charles de Gaulle, the self-appointed representative of free France. As the only European democracy still holding out against Hitler, Britain became known to occupied countries as “Last Hope Island.” Getting there, one young émigré declared, was “like getting to heaven.” Topics for each week TBD.

Each week we will write to a prompt, or two, and share and respond to those writings. We will also work together over the course of the seminar to write and revise at least one story for your legacy. Come prepared to write, learn, craft and give feedback in each session. Some writing outside of class may be required to complete your story. We will meet socially after seminar ends to pick up printed anthology of our work. There will also be an opportunity to read from your work in an evening presentation at UDOLLI.

Film Noir 8: G-Men! NEWSometimes a crime is so baffling or a criminal is so clever that it takes more than a dedicated cop or a tough private eye to crack the case. That’s when they bring in the Feds. These guys have all the resources of our Government behind them. Using a combination of logic, daring, hard work and science, they always bring in their man, often at great risk to themselves. Meet six of the best in these black-and-white thrillers. We’ll focus on films that you probably haven’t seen, discuss the cast and crew, talk about what makes a film noir, and learn a little about how movies are made.

Glimpses of the Civil WarGlimpses of the Civil War is a seminar that Rick Carlile has been moderating at UDOLLI for more than 10 years, with additions and modifications from time to time. It is impossible to cover the entire Civil War in 12 hours, so Carlile has picked topics of the Civil War which he believes would be most interesting to our students. These topics include: (1) general background; (2) military campaigns; (3) Gettysburg campaign; (4) Ohio in the Civil War; (5) potpourri of various topics; and (6) photography in the Civil War and visual tour of the Dayton Soldiers Home.



Rick Carlile is a retired attorney. He has been a student of Civil War history and a collector of Civil War artifacts and photography for more than 40 years.

Dayton’s Brewing History NEWWhen the first settlers traveled to Cincinnati, OH, from what would develop into Dayton, Ohio, they brought with them a knowledge of brewing arts based on their heritage, and the fact that beer was considered safer to drink than the water that came from the rivers. We’ll look at how beer traditions developed from different European regions, how they developed in the western America frontier that was Ohio in the late 18th and early 19th centuries, and how it weathered Prohibition. Then we’ll talk about the current developments in the growing craft beer market.

American Law Enforcement: Yesterday, Today, and Tomorrow—Challenges and OpportunitiesThe historic core mission of law enforcement is to Protect Life and Property, and Prevent and Detect Crime. Shifts in demands for service and transparency continue to impact the public perception of police. The police have, out of necessity, become well-trained first responders to potential terrorist and mass casualty events which requires new strategies, tactics and partnerships with federal and state authorities. Advances in technology and forensic science constantly enhance the ability of police to perform their job and solve crime. Today, many citizens participate in partnerships with police to solve a wide range of crime and social issues that affect


their communities. Attendees will learn: (1) About America’s decentralized system of policing and the regional impact. The rich history of the Dayton Police Department will be discussed as it is one of the oldest agencies and the largest in our region. (2) The decade of 1965-1975 was the most violent in urban American and in Dayton. The West Side suffered three major riots. In 1972, a federal court case was filed to racially desegregate Dayton Public Schools. Students will learn of the white racist serial killer who hated school bussing and began shooting black men at random. Over four summers he shot over 30, killing seven, drive-by style. Some lasting effects of the decade still linger in the city. The killer’s audio confession will be played. (3) A discussion about changes in how mentally disturbed and potentially dangerous citizens are handled today verses hospitalization. (4) Gun crime—carrying concealed weapons in Ohio, pros and cons. (5) A portion of the last seminar held in the auditorium will be devoted to open discussion with several of the presenters available.

Alexander Hamilton—The Life and Loves of an American Statesman Who Played a Critical Part in the Development of Our Nation NEWThe lyrics of the opening song from the highly successful Broadway musical, “Hamilton,” aptly describe the questions some founders of America asked themselves about Alexander Hamilton. In the words of the lyricist: “How does a bastard, orphan, son of a whore and a Scotsman, dropped in the middle of a forgotten spot in the Caribbean by providence, impoverished, in squalor, grow up to be a hero and a scholar? The ten-dollar Founding Father without a father got a lot further by working harder by being smarter ... by being a self-starter ... ” This seminar will focus on exploring the life of Alexander Hamilton, from his illegitimate birth to his rising as a founder of America and our nation’s first treasurer. The class will include a look at the two extraordinary women behind this man: his beautiful but persecuted mother, Rachel Hamilton (from whom his intellect and aspirations were inherited), and the woman he carefully chose as his wife, Elizabeth Schuyler Hamilton who 50 years beyond her husband’s death, remained committed to rescuing her husband’s historical reputation from the slanderous rumors that had tarnished it. To add some spice to our time together, we will listen to a few songs from the score of the Broadway Show “Hamilton” the Broadway play that was written by a man who was inspired by Hamilton’s life and accomplishments.

Sharon Otto Trekell, Ph.D. absolutely loves theater and fine arts. She is also especially drawn to musicals which is how she became fascinated by the Broadway musical: “Hamilton” Listening to it inspired her to read several books on Alexander Hamilton’s life including her learning more about his life and his loves. Three decades of Sharon’s life have involved understanding marriage and family systems. Consequently, she will moderate this seminar from the lens of history, and from the lens of a person who understands family systems—dysfunctional and functional. Her hope is that those who attend will become as excited as she is about the life of Alexander Hamilton—a revolutionary soldier, an American statesman, a scholar, and an American hero.

THURSDAY SEMINARSAmericana Music NEWAmericana, as defined by the Americana Music Association (AMA), is “contemporary music that incorporates elements of various, mostly acoustic American roots music styles, including country, roots-rock, folk, gospel and bluegrass resulting in a distinctive roots-oriented sound that lives in a world apart from the pure forms of the genres upon which it may draw. While acoustic instruments are often present and vital, Americana also often uses a full electric band.” It could be argued that the combination of these various genres was first distilled by The Band with the release of their two seminal albums “Music From Big Pink” in 1968, and “The Band” (AKA “The Brown Album”) in 1969. Since that time many artists have become identified with “Americana” music to include: John Prine, Emmylou Harris, Alison Krauss, Ry Cooder, James McMurtry, Jason Isbell, Rosanne Cash, Bob Dylan, Mavis Staples, Neil Young, Chris Stapleton, Johnny Cash and Willie Nelson. In 2010, the Grammy Awards finally identified a separate category for Americana Music. It seemed only fitting that the first winner of the Americana Music Album of the Year was Levon Helm—the most familiar of The Band’s three lead singers. As Ry Cooder has said, “There’s some kind of reverence mood that takes hold when you play and sing these songs.” That reverence and enthusiasm is why Americana roots music will continue to flourish. Join us as we talk about and listen to many of the great songs of this wide range of music.

The Dayton Bombe Project in Historical Perspective NEWMy father, Joseph Desch, was director of Dayton’s role in the US Navy’s attack on the Enigma. He died in 1987; the story was officially declassified in 1995. Historians continue to find new information to this day. Deborah joined these efforts for research for the documentary Dayton Codebreakers, and since then to satisfy her own curiosity. This work led Deborah to conclude that Dayton’s achievement is enhanced, not diminished, by being placed in a larger setting, whether national or international. This is the first time Deborah can focus on this story outside of her family. Each week, the seminar will go beyond the local to look at how the work was seen in Washington and beyond.

In addition: The bibliography is provided for further reading on Deborah’s web site. A link will be posted on my home page, http://daytoncodebreakers.org/.

Advance Preparation: Deborah’s hope is to get everyone acquainted with the basic narrative by the end of the first seminar. The seminar will begin with her 10 Most Frequently Asked Questions. Please look at the FAQs so the seminars can get off to a good start. No engineering, math, or military background necessary. A link to the FAQs will be posted at http://daytoncodebreakers.org/.

The Research Director of this project was Deborah’s father, Joseph Desch. He had told her anecdotes about his WW2 work but no hard facts. After his death, 8 years before declassification, Deborah Anderson began researching what his work might have been. This eventually led to reporter Jim Debrosse’s newspaper series in 2001 ( link on web site). Then, 2003-2006, Deborah was researcher for the Dayton Codebreakers documentary. She used that work to begin the web site of the same name, http://www.daytoncodebreakers.org/. Deborah has spoken on this topic to groups around the country, including the NSA and at the National Archives, for 25 years.

Communication and Development in the Frontier West NEWThe last half of the 19th Century witnessed rapid change in the Frontier West. The pony express, stage coach, transcontinental railroad and telegraph enabled settlers in Oregon and the California mining camps to be connected to the East. As the buffalo slowly disappeared from the Great Plains, this “Great American Desert” was quickly filled with cattle ranchers and homesteaders that were looking for new opportunities. The nomadic life of the Native Americans was curtailed as Geronimo, Sitting Bull and Chief Joseph who were inspirational leaders at the end of this age. The new cities of Denver, Seattle, Cheyenne and others grew out of the frontier wilderness.

The Electoral College: Keep—Alter—Abolish? NEWWe will examine the reasons why the Founding Fathers chose the process of electing the president, how it works and changes in the process up to the present. We will review the presidential elections affected by the Electoral College. Five elections occurred where the winning candidate didn’t win the popular vote, but won the presidency. Other elections were affected by the Electoral College as well. In the last session we will look at the pros and cons of the Electoral College: should we keep it, alter it or abolish it? We will review several options and how they work. Then we’ll vote.3 Thursdays, January 17-January 3112:30-2:30 p.m., Daniel J. Curran Place

Sherlock Holmes books and series?• Which is better: a well-researched fictional treatment or a non-fictional work related to an event

and which method better serves history?• Are talking animals, as part of a plot or as a narrative voice, entertaining or ridiculous?• What historical and cultural values can be obtained after a new discovery of clay tablets of the

Odyssey?• Can or should an author write about experiences that are not intrinsic to their heritage

(sex, race, societal environment)?• Is it trying too hard to have a children’s book for each and every new cultural diversity prior to

having a broad base of Native American, African-American or Oriental stories?

Some Films of John Wayne NEWBring popcorn, snacks and the beverage of your choice! John Wayne, born Marion Michael Morrison, is an American film icon. And, similar to medieval religious icons, artists called film directors used “Duke” Wayne as a symbol of strength, loyalty and a simple black-and-white set of moral standards applied to a sense of duty. In this course we will look back at the American iconography captured in “She Wore a Yellow Ribbon” (John Ford, director), “The Shootist” (Don Seigel, director), “The Man Who Shot Liberty Valence” (John Ford, director), and “The Quiet Man” (John Ford, director). Time permitting, we will add Rio Bravo, directed by Howard Hawks. Please be aware that several films will run 10-15 minutes past our 5:00 p.m. end time. For one long film it may be necessary to take your break on the run as needed—just like in a real movie theater!

Miami Valley TechFest NEWThe term STEM is an acronym that represents the fields of education encompassing science, technology, engineering and mathematics. It includes educational activities across all grade levels—from pre-school to post doctorate in both formal (e.g., classroom) and informal (e.g., after-school programs) settings. The presentation will describe each of these fields and the pros and cons of the emphasis on STEM in schools across the country as well as why we need more people in STEM.

The second half of this special topic presentation will focus on TechFest. The biggest non-classroom STEM event in the Miami Valley is TechFest. TechFest is a free two-day family oriented event held on the weekend prior to President’s Day holiday in February. TechFest was created by the Affiliate Societies Council of Dayton and has been conducted by ASC for the past 16 years on the downtown Dayton campus of Sinclair Community College. A popular TechFest science demonstration will follow an overview of the TechFest program.

Ohio’s Role in Woman Suffrage: Three Reasons to Celebrate the 2020 Women’s Vote Centennial NEWThe U.S. will soon celebrate 100 years since women achieved the right to vote. School history books rarely mention that the suffrage movement lasted 72 years or discuss the deep sacrifices necessary to achieve the passage of the 19th Amendment. This two-session seminar will present the story of the brave women who were imprisoned under inhumane conditions for picketing the White House in 1917, demanding the right to vote. In addition, students will learn about the crucial yet forgotten role Ohio and Greater Cincinnati played in the story. Join us to learn the Ohio connection to this important movement and about the brave women who led the charge.

Real News? Fake News? What Is News? NEWWho decides what news is? In a two-session seminar, we will help people recognize “fake news,” compared to “real news.” The first week’s content will introduce concepts traditionally accepted by journalists for judging “news,” and new trends in news content, spiced with lots of the instructor’s examples of “real” news, “fake” news and content that’s somewhere in between. For the second week’s session, seminar participants will be urged to bring or submit examples they have found n the media for analysis and discussion. Based on the first week’s conclusions, we’ll attempt to establish criteria that will help us evaluate so that we can separate “real” from “fake” news.

Luther and the Reformation: Why Then, Why There, Why Him?This one session seminar is a reprise of the Keynote Address for the 2018 UDOLLI Summer Program recognizing the 500th anniversary of Martin Luther and the Protestant Reformation. The presentation will highlight the major figures and series of events that led to the Protestant Reformation in 1517. It will describe the 16th century religious, political, intellectual and cultural upheaval that would permanently fracture the 1000-year dominance of Roman Catholicism in Europe. For centuries, questioning of religious doctrine and calls to purify clerical corruption had been successfully weathered by the Church leadership. In the early sixteenth century, however, a confluence of swelling currents would break the dam of resistance which Rome had previously been able to reinforce. The result, the Reformation, left in its wake the diversity of Christian religious beliefs and political structures that would define the European continent in modern times.

UDOLLI AT NIGHT History of Jazz Part 2 NEWThe second of three seminars covering the history of jazz, we pick up where we left off at the end of the Swing Era, in the mid 1940s. At this time, there was a radical change in the music, as jazz moved away from a popular dance music, and grew to a more complex art music, with the advent of modern jazz. We will cover the bebop period, illustrating what distinguished this from Swing, examining Dizzy Gillespie, Charlie Parker, Bud Powell and others. From here, we will cover Cool Jazz (Miles Davis, Lennie Tristano, Stan Getz, Gerry Mulligan, Dave Brubeck), Hard Bop (Clifford Brown, Sonny Rollins, Art Blakey, Horace Silver, Cannonball Adderley), Soul Jazz (Jimmy Smith, Gene Ammons, Ray Charles), Modern Big Bands (Stan Kenton, Woody Herman, Gil Evans, Thad Jones), Third Stream Music, modern pianists (Erroll Garner, Oscar Peterson, George Shearing, Bill Evans) and finish with in-depth studies of Thelonious Monk, Charles Mingus and Miles Davis (ending with a study of his seminal album, Kind Of Blue).



Bill Lavin recently retired after 31 years as a radiologist at Miami Valley Hospital. He minored in jazz studies at Duke University, studying with Jerry Coker, Dwike Mitchell, Willie Ruff and Mary Lou Williams. He has offered History of Jazz courses at UDOLLI during the past two academic years.

REGISTRATION AND RELATED INFORMATIONRemember these helpful tips and important facts as you register.

• The $80 registration fee per session entitles you to select as many seminars during that session as you wish.

• Payment is due when you register. Your confirmation letter serves as your receipt.• You can register for UDOLLI seminars online, by mail, or by phone. Fax and email requests will not be accepted.• After registering, a confirmation containing seminar registration and parking information

will be sent to you.• Seminars may be cancelled if fewer than 10 persons register. You will be notified should

that occur.• Once a seminar reaches it’s specified “seminar limit,” you will be wait-listed and notified if

an opening occurs.• If you cannot attend the first day of your seminar, please let us know by calling 937-229-2347.

Otherwise, you may be dropped from the seminar.

About refunds. To receive a refund of your $80 registration fee, please notify Special Programs and Continuing Education, 937-229-2347, by Friday, January 4, 2019. After that date, refunds are not given.

Parking permits. There is a fee of $50 for each parking permit.

You are welcome to park anywhere off campus. If you choose to park on university grounds and campus, UD requires a valid university parking permit. This also includes handicapped-designated space. During registration, you can request a permit to park on campus.

The R1 permit is also valid on the main campus, 7:30 p.m.-6:30 a.m. weekdays; open parking (without a permit) is allowed on weekends.

To obtain a parking permit, simply indicate your parking needs by checking the appropriate box on the registration page. You may stop by the office during the first week of the

seminars to obtain the permit. Office hours are: Monday through Friday 8:30 a.m.-4:30 p.m.

Once you receive it, please keep your permit in a safe place for use during the term.

Remember to display it properly from the rearview mirror. Lost or stolen permits as well as parking citations are the responsibility of the member. Replacement permits cost $50 per person, per permit.

What if my seminar is held off site? Some of our seminars are at other locations around the com-munity. If this is the case, you are responsible for transportation to and from the seminar. For these seminars, a UD parking permit is not required. Feel free to contact the office with any questions regarding parking.

If you wish to ride the RTA. Just contact the RTA RideLine, 937-425-8300, and they will give you schedule, route, and senior discount information.

DAYTON CELEBRATION CHORUSThe Dayton Celebration Chorus is an adult community chorus that serves the city of Dayton and the Miami Valley region. Open to all interested adult singers and requiring no audition, the Chorus sings a diverse repertoire of both sacred and secular choral literature, with an emphasis on American music. Founded in 2003 as the Schuster Center Celebration Choir, the organization was first sponsored by the Victoria Theatre Association. In 2014, the group affiliated with the University of Dayton Office of Special Programs and Continuing Education.

Performance venues have included the Schuster Center for the Performing Arts, Courthouse Square Grand Illumination, Kroc Center, Dayton Art Institute, Victoria Theatre, The Greene, UD Arena, Fifth Third Field, and various churches and retirement communities. Chorus members have enjoyed performance opportunities with the Dayton Philharmonic Orchestra’s Holiday Festival Community Chorus, the UD New Horizons Band, the Miami Valley Symphony, and various guest artists and conductors. DCC has been selected annually to sing the National Anthem for the Dayton Dragons at Fifth Third Field.

For registration information, please visit: Udayton.edu/continuing_education/noncredit_offerings/daytoncelebrationchorus

NEW HORIZONS MUSICLearn to play music in a band as a senior adult—even if you have no musical experience! Playing music is a special joy that will help you maintain mental and physical health. It is also a way of experiencing life—playing music from the past keeps us in touch with those feelings; daily practice keeps us active in the present; and striving for new goals attaches us to the future. One band member describes it as “serious fun.” As a member of New Horizons Music, you will meet new friends and work with them as a team to learn music for concerts and other performances in the community. New Horizons ensembles typically perform many times each year in venues ranging from formal concerts to shopping malls and from parks to retirement and nursing homes.UD New Horizons Music offers adults 50 years of age or better the opportunity to begin a musical instrument and provides a re-entry point for those who have been away from active music making for many years. Instruments taught include: flute, oboe, bassoon, clarinet, saxophone, trumpet, French horn, trombone, baritone, tuba and percussion.For registration information, please visit: https://www.udayton.edu/continuing.../senior_programs/index.php

University of Dayton Osher Lifelong Learning Institute

CONNECTING GENERATIONS & CULTURES A TALENT BANK & CLEARING HOUSE PROGRAM With age comes wisdom and experience that can be priceless when shared with others

1. What Is This? The UDOLLI Connecting

Generations & Cultures (CGC) program

connects UDOLLI to the Dayton area community utilizing our vibrant, highly educated,

experienced, and talented members.

Connecting Generations & Cultures is a Talent

Bank & Clearing House program for community

organizations. We put your talents to work by connecting you to organizations to help carry out their mission. As members of our program, many of you are ready and anxious to share your decades of knowledge, experience and wisdom with those who can benefit.

2. Connecting Criteria The CGC program has been reaching out to various

community groups, and many have reached out to us. We connect to organizations that meet any one of these criteria: is it educational, cultural, civic, social, governmental, inter-generational? Can our members and the organization’s members contribute to and benefit from the connection experience? As opportunities come along we promote them to UDOLLI members. Check out our connected organizations to the right. Let us know of any organizations you feel would make a good connection with our program.*

*NOTE: A recommendation is no guarantee we will make a connection. We carefully review every idea to ensure it fits within UDOLLI’s mission and the objectives of the Connecting Generations & Cultures program. Our Executive Director makes all final decisions. All UDOLLI members involved with any Connecting Generations & Cultures program must understand and accept that they represent the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute at the University of Dayton and must adhere to all rules and regulations that may apply to the University and our program.

3. Connecting You Here’s how we get you connected. We communicate

an organization’s needs in a variety of ways: email, newsletter, seminar announcements, special presentations and promotional flyers. You’ll learn about the organization, decide if you’re interested, and then you reach out to the organization’s contact directly. You are then on your way to a new adventure.

Your connection could be for a single project or an ongoing program. For example, you could share your ideas during a creative planning session or work with the organization on a regular basis to carry on their mission. There may be several of your fellow UDOLLI members involved in the same activity, or it might be just you. Whatever project or organization you get involved with, you will meet new friends and perhaps build life-long relationships. You may even find that a connection can be life changing. You may be a senior, but you’re not done yet! You can share your years of experience and wisdom to make our community a better place.

4. Our Connected Partners The following list includes all organizations to-date we

have connected with since the inception of CGC in 2013. With some of our connections our members have been deeply involved working on a variety of projects, while with others we are just getting started in making deeper connections. The connection may currently be active or inactive. Our members have contributed their expertise in a variety of ways: teaching, mentoring, donating, facilitating deliberation discussions, and facilitating creative and strategic planning sessions. 1.
