2 | Osher Winter 2019 Seminars | LEARNING IS FOREVER OSHER LIFELONG WELCOME TO THE OSHER LIFELONG LEARNING LEARNING INSTITUTE INSTITUTE AT THE UNIVERSITY OF DAYTON
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 STATEMENT The 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 community We 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 noncredit There 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 venture We 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.

6 | Osher Winter 2019 Seminars | LEARNING IS FOREVER MONDAY SEMINARS Rock and Roll: The First 25 Influences NEW We 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 Ruffis 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 NEW Most 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. 5 Mondays, January 14-February 18 (No Seminar on January 21) 9:30-11:30 a.m., Daniel J. Curran Place 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? NEW Dennis 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. 6 Mondays, January 14-February 25 (No Seminar on January 21) 9:30-11:30 a.m., Daniel J. Curran Place

Art and War: A Range of Considerations NEW War 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. 6 Mondays, January 14-February 25 (No Seminar on January 21) 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 First three sessions will feature The Things They Carried.

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.
8 | Osher Winter 2019 Seminars | LEARNING IS FOREVER Earth’s Environment—Past, Present and Future NEW Examine 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.

Jazz Vocalists NEW The 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.
LEARNING IS FOREVER | Osher Winter 2019 Seminars | 9 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. 6 Mondays, January 14-February 25 (No Seminar on January 21) 12:30-2:30 p.m., Daniel J. Curran Place Bill Lavin recently retired after 31 years as a radiologist at Miami Valley Hospital.

Curran Place 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 Music The 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. 6 Mondays, January 14-February 25 (No Seminar on January 21) 3:00-5:00 p.m., Daniel J.

Last Hope Island—Britain, Occupied Europe and the Brotherhood that Helped Turn the Tide of War NEW This 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. 6 Mondays, January 14-February 25 (No Seminar on January 21) 3:00-5:00 p.m., Daniel J.

Dayton’s Brewing History NEW When 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.

American Law Enforcement: Yesterday, Today, and Tomorrow—Challenges and Opportunities The 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

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. 6 Wednesdays, January 16-February 20 3:00-5:00 p.m., Daniel J. Curran Place 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.

Mary Ann has moderated 14 previous seminars for UDOLLI and is currently a member of the Board of Advisors. | 21 THURSDAY SEMINARS Americana Music NEW Americana, 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. 6 Thursdays, January 17-February 21 9:30-11:30 a.m., Daniel J. Curran Place Walt Wurst has been unduly fixated on pop, country, rock and classical music from early childhood.

The Dayton Bombe Project in Historical Perspective NEW My 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. 6 Thursdays, January 17-February 21 9:30-11:30 a.m., Daniel J. Curran Place Recommended Text: Code Girls: The Untold Story of the American Women Code Breakers of World War II. Now in paperback for $11.59 or $11.99 in Kindle.

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.

The Electoral College: Keep—Alter—Abolish? NEW We 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.

26 | Osher Winter 2019 Seminars | LEARNING IS FOREVER Some Films of John Wayne NEW Bring popcorn, snacks and the beverage of your choice! John Wayne, born Marion Michael Morrison, is an American film icon.

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. 1 Friday, February 15 9:30-11:30 a.m., Daniel J.

Membership in the Senior Fellows program includes the privilege of attending any two seminars for which you meet the prerequisite—graduate or undergraduate—each term on an audit basis. (Books and special fees are extra.)
DAYTON CELEBRATION CHORUS The 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 MUSIC Learn 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.
