Good Morning Lifelong Learners!
Leonardo Da Vinci once said, “Learning is the only thing the mind never exhausts, never fears, and never regrets.” His words stand as true today as when he originally said them. Thanks to all who attended yesterday's in-person class, Learn How to Zoom. Working together, getting to know a new means of communication, and getting over fears or apprehensions in using this new technology were rewarding.
Learning is exciting! Your interest and participation in the programs we craft for you are invigorating. It renews our resolve to continue serving you and learning with you. This week we are featuring Rebecca Orozco in our Brown Bag Lecture Series, who will introduce you to her life experiences in archaeology.
I look forward to seeing you in class and online!
Regards,
Ana Smith

This class can satisfy your historical curiosity about the Great Papago Escape that happened near Phoenix. It was labeled the largest Axis prisoner-of-war escape to occur from an American facility during World War II. Just before Christmas in1944, twenty-five people escaped and fled from a POW Camp into the desert surrounding Papago Park. Eventually, all were recaptured without violence. Was it their branch of service that prepared them for this feat or was it something else? How did they escape and how far did they get? The answer to these questions will be our focus.
