3rd month into the coronavirus lockdown, three months of no science class with the seniors in Eldorado.....................and it had been running for over a year, each and every Monday.
I did try to set up a virtual class using Google Hangout but there werent enough takers, so I'll just wait until all this is over and start again..........................
Occasionally members of the class (many former scientists, teachers, academics, some from Los Alamos, oldest member Peggy, 98!) would take the class............
Former teacher Linda's presentation, for example, on feathers,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,was quite brilliant!! Kept everyone engaged for the entire class. Good job, L the P!!
It was the last but one class before Christmas....................Linda gave a super talk on the science of bird feathers.......and she had so many feathers to show the audience.
Jack, a relatively new member of my Senior Scientist class at the nearby Adams Senior Centre, held us all in his hand also when he took the class......telling us about his passion for the study of time. He had obviously spent hours researching the topic and presented his information in a quiet voice, showing us many examples of his watch collection, and providing well crafted handouts.
Jack spoke for just an hour, holding everyone's attention.
Big audience, too.............20 people came.
