A learning community for active adults 50+ 

Lone Star College 

With 83,000 students in credit classes, and a total enrollment 

of more than 95,000 students, Lone Star College (LSC) is 

one of the fastest-growing community college systems in the 

nation and the largest institution of higher education in the 

Houston area. Recognized for its commitment to student 

success and credential completion, LSC leads a number of 

high-profile programs designed to improve student success, 

including the state-wide Texas Completes project and the 

College Credit for Heroes, aimed at transforming military 

experience into college credits for returning veterans. LSC 

has six colleges including LSC-CyFair, LSC-Kingwood, LSC- 

Montgomery, LSC-North Harris, LSC-Tomball, and LSC- 

University Park. 

Academy for Lifelong Learning (ALL) 

The Academy for Lifelong Learning (ALL) is a membership 

community that enriches the lives of senior adults by providing 

stimulating classes and seminars, social activities, skills 

development, and opportunities for personal growth. One of 

the fastest-growing trends in America is for seniors to move 

near colleges and universities to take advantage of low-cost 

artistic and cultural activities. 

ALL memberships at each LSC campus are available for an 

affordable annual fee. No prior education is required. No 

grades are given. No tests or textbooks required. This is 

learning for the enjoyment of learning. 

As a member, you can help decide what is offered, volunteer 

to teach a course, or help arrange day trips. You will also 

receive advance notice of our many fine arts events and have 

access to our libraries and computer labs. 

ALL member benefits include: 

• Free or low-cost lectures, workshops and seminars; 

• Day trips to local nature and historical sites; 

• Access to select college fitness centers; 

• Advance notice of art shows with artist receptions; 

• Discount pricing on plays, concerts and musicals; 

• 20 percent discount (if age 60 or older) on some 

community education courses; 

• Access to college libraries and computer labs; and 

• Campus photo ID cards. 

Activities are designed with the busy schedules of seniors 

in mind. Most classes are one to two hours in length. Some 

may have multiple class sessions over several weeks. Day 

trips are local, one-day outings. All information is easy to 

understand and enjoyable. Instructors are knowledgeable and 

approachable.

Registration is required to attend activities and classes.

Participate

are encouraged to participate as a committee member or 

volunteer as an instructor to share your ideas. 

Volunteer instructor. What better way to share your 

enthusiasm and expertise in subjects important to you than 

becoming an ALL volunteer instructor? You have a lifetime of 

knowledge to share—whether it’s discussing an historical event 

or sharing your love of arts and crafts. Becoming a volunteer 

instructor allows you to teach others about what is near and 

dear to your heart, all in a safe and fun environment. An ALL 

staff member can give you more details about becoming a 

volunteer instructor. 

Committee member. The ALL program staff members need 

input from knowledgeable members to help make decisions 

about course selection, scheduling and marketing. As a 

volunteer committee member, you’ll be able to do that and 

more. Your life experience is important and can help ensure 

the success of the ALL program and promote ALL within the 

community. Contact your local campus ALL staff member about 

committee opportunities.

Important Information 

Regarding Classes with Fees 

The ALL program offers a few classes that 

require an additional fee. For these popular 

classes, there are special registration guidelines. 

If you want to sign up for a class with a fee, it 

is important to do this at the Registration Open 

House. Early enrollment in these classes is not 

accepted. Since enrollment in these classes is on 

a first-come, first-served basis, and the class fee 

is paid at that time, make it a priority on the day 

of the Open House to go directly to the sign-up 

tables when the doors open. 

Get Your Student ID Card 

The student ID card becomes your library 

card for Lone Star College Libraries. 

Parking Permits Required 

All Lone Star College campuses now require 

parking permits to park on campus. Pick up 

a parking permit at Open House. Remember 

to bring your car’s license plate number to 

obtain pass.

Thank You, ALL Volunteers 

LSC-CyFair extends a thank you to all of the volunteers who help 

make the ALL program and the college such a success. Without 

the many volunteers helping with committees, instructing classes, 

and organizing activities, the ALL program would not exist. We 

appreciate our many community members who help decide class 

selection and find our speakers. They share their knowledge and 

enthusiasm about their areas of interest which helps us offer more 

classes with a greater variety. We want to also acknowledge the 

great benefits ALL brings to the campus; from helping with student 

registration and the Student Success program, to working the 

annual CyFest, to being a visible presence to the student on campus 

proving that learning never goes out of style.

border to Canada. Motivated by their shared passion for the 

outdoors and a desire to promote the adoption of wild horses

Best of Enemies 

In the summer of 1968, television news was changed 

forever. Dead last in the ratings, ABC hired two, well- known, 

intellectuals: leading light of the conservative movement 

William F. Buckley, Jr., and left-leaning novelist, polemicist 

Gore Vidal. Natural opponents, both men believed each 

other’s political ideologies were dangerous for America. 

Their explosive exchanges, live and unscripted, kept viewers 

riveted, jump started ABC News ratings, and ushered in a 

new era in public discourse. 


Seymour, An Introduction 

This documentary will uplift, inform, and inspire you. Actor/ 

director Ethan Hawke delivers a “warm, witty, and intimate 

tribute,” to his friend, Seymour Bernstein. Native New Yorker 

Bernstein, a virtuoso pianist, gave up a successful concert 

career to teach music. Hawke lovingly guides him to share 

his remarkable life stories, eye-opening words of wisdom, 

and insightful reflection on art, creativity, and the search for 

fulfillment. What shines through in this film is the beauty and 

honorability of passing on knowledge.

HISTORY 

Alabama’s Monuments Man – Captain Robert Kelley 

Posey and the Quest for the Mystic Lamb 

Robert Kelley Posey attended Auburn University and was 

commissioned a second lieutenant in the Army Reserves shortly 

after graduation. After the Japanese bombing of Pearl Harbor 

in December 1941 and the entry of the U.S. into World War 

II, Posey entered the active force, serving as an Engineering 

officer with the U.S. Army. With the establishment of the 

Monuments, Fine Arts, and Archives (MFA&A) of the U.S. 

Army, Posey was hand-picked to serve as the Monuments 

Officer for General Patton’s Third Army which fought its way 

across France and Belgium during the summer and fall of 

1944. As a Monuments Man, Posey was responsible for not 

only protecting war damaged buildings and monuments in 

occupied France, but also tracking down art looted by the 

Nazis. Our presenter, Paul Harris, is a professor of political 

science at Auburn University with a research specialization 

in post-World War II Germany. He has made a special 

trip to Houston to present this program for members of the 

Academy for Lifelong Learning, system-wide. The program 

will be held in Building H, Room 102 (the Recital Hall).

Interpreter at San Jacinto Battleground State Historic Site. He 

holds a Ph.D. in History from the University of Mississippi.

how the Panhandle of Texas came into being.

The Lost Battalion 

In the days immediately preceding America’s entry into 

World War II, a group of young men in the Texas National 

Guard were mobilized as the 2 nd Battalion of the 131 st 

Field Infantry Division of the U.S. Army. A few months later, 

following an engagement with the Japanese in the South 

Pacific, the entire Battalion was captured and mysteriously 

went missing. When the truth emerged years later, the 

stories of determination and survival of the members of the 

“Lost Battalion,” in the face of the horrific conditions of their 

captivity, became a source of inspiration for generations 

of those who followed, as well as the basis for novels and 

movies. Jan Koenig will be your instructor.

The Irish Are Coming! The Irish Immigration to 

America from 1750-1900. 

In the 2010 Census, the Irish and Scots-Irish represented 

over 15% of the total United States population, second 

only to people of German-American descent. An historical 

background to understand why they came to this country 

and the influence they provided toward the growth of 

America will be provided. The first part of the class will 

discuss the Celt/Gaelic heritage of the Irish and how religion 

and economics influenced the first wave of Irish to come to 

this country in the 1750s. The potato famine in the 1840s 

drove the second Irish wave to America where, due to their 

religion, they were considered the lowest rung of society. The 

American Civil War, the building of the western railroads, 

and their growth in politics, changed their social status by 

1900. Join Paul Downey.

The Versailles Treaty – The Truce that Lasted 20 

Years 

WWI or “the European Reformation” ended November 11, 

1918 with the signing of the armistice. Six months after the 

armistice, the four major powers of France, England, Italy, 

and the United States, came to Paris to write the treaty to 

end the war officially and divide the spoils for winning the 

war. Woodrow Wilson, President of the United States, was 

extremely idealistic and politically inept as he tried to present 

his Fourteen Points and the establishment of the League 

of Nations. France, on the other hand, wanted to destroy 

Germany’s economy and make the Germans admit the war 

was their fault and pay crippling reparations to France to 

offset the cost of the war. England wanted more power in 

the defunct Ottoman Empire, and Italy was basically left 

out. The Versailles Treaty did not end the War to End All 

Wars, but was a twenty-year truce prior to WWII. Paul 

Downey traces the treaty from the start of WWI in 1914, 

and the dramatic effect the Versailles Treaty has on today’s 

politics through Wilsonian politics, England’s, and France’s 

Middle Eastern policy of broken promises, India’s road to 

independence, and the rise of America to the world stage.

Veins and Venous Insufficiency 

Your arteries carry blood from your heart out to the rest of 

your body. Your veins carry blood back to the heart, and 

valves in the veins stop the blood from flowing backward. 

When your veins have trouble sending blood from your 

limbs to the heart, it’s known as venous insufficiency. In this 

condition, blood doesn’t flow back properly to the heart, 

causing blood to pool in the veins in your legs. This can 

cause varicose veins, leg pain, swelling, skin discoloration, 

ulcers, and more. The good news is this condition can be 

treated! Pamela Moore, from the Hamilton Vein Center, will 

be your instructor.

Writing is Exciting 

This Interactive writing workshop now enters its second year. 

We welcome those who want to achieve clarity in all forms 

of their writing, from correspondence, essays, fiction, nonfiction, 

and autobiographical projects. More than teaching 

a specific style of writing, this class encourages and nurtures 

each person to find his or her own voice and unique style. 

All assignments are read out loud in class to elicit positive 

critique from other class members in an environment of 

support and encouragement. At the end of the semester, 

the best of each writer’s efforts are put into a bound 



booklet, something to keep and be remembered about the 

experience. This semester, we will also encourage writers to 

enter their work in some of the many writing competitions 

held annually, locally and around the country. Writing is a 

cornerstone of our daily lives; we can and should continue to 

improve written communication. Come join us and add your 

skills, talents, and aspirations to this fine effort. The class is 

led by former broadcast journalist Steve Little. This class will 

meet each week for eight weeks, except there will be no 

class on 10/3.

RELIGION & SPIRITUALITY 

Creation Myths 

Creation myths are part of most religious traditions: attempts 

to answer key questions regarding the cosmos and our 

role within it. These myths are often beautiful metaphorical 

stories, some of which are considered divine truth by specific 

religious groups. The similarities among these myths suggest 

universality. In this course, taught by Michael Condit, we will 

consider creation myths as a whole, but in the process we 

will deal with several myths as examples of specific types of 

myth. Ultimately, we will find a key role for creation thinking 

in both religion and philosophy.

will explore the value that lies within.

HISTORY 




commissioned a second lieutenant in the Army Reserves 

shortly after graduation. After the Japanese bombing of 

Pearl Harbor in December 1941 and the entry of the 

U.S. into World War II, Posey entered the active force, 

serving as an Engineering officer with the U.S. Army. With 

the establishment of the Monuments, Fine Arts, and Archives 

(MFA&A) of the U.S. Army, Posey was hand-picked to serve 

as the Monuments Officer for General Patton’s Third Army 

which fought its way across France and Belgium during the 

summer and fall of 1944. As a Monuments Man, Posey was 

responsible for not only protecting war damaged buildings 

and monuments in occupied France, but also tracking down 

art looted by the Nazis. Our presenter, Paul Harris, is a 

professor of political science at Auburn University with a 

research specialization in post-World War II Germany. He 

has made a special trip to Houston to present this program 

for members of the Academy for Lifelong Learning, systemwide. 

The program will be held in Building H, Room 102 

(the Recital Hall), on the LSC-Montgomery campus. 

17032 F 11/11 1-4 p.m. LCS-MC Harris 

Battle of San Jacinto Overview

its significance to the history of Texas, the United States, 

and the world. The presentation will include background 

on the Texas Revolution and authentic replicas of the tools, 

food, and clothing of the 1830s. Boyd Harris is the Lead 



Interpreter at San Jacinto Battleground State Historic Site. He 

holds a Ph.D. in History from the University of Mississippi. 

17899 Th 10/27 1:30-3:30 p.m. Atascocita Harris 

Battleship Texas 

Your instructor Ron Lewis will present a brief survey of the 

history of the Battleship Texas, permanently moored in La

17869 Th 9/15 1:30-3:30 p.m. Atascocita Lewis 

The Colonization of Mid-East Oil from 1900 to 1972 

The present state of Middle Eastern affairs has been simmering 

for many decades. The inception of Islam in the seventh 

century CE and its growth and influence on the areas of 

Mesopotamia, Persia, and Turkey, will be traced. The 1909 

discovery of oil in Persia changed the dynamics of the area. 

With the advent of WWI and the Versailles Treaty, Britain 

continued to colonize and make new boundaries, further 

alienating the unkept promises to the populations of the area. 

Nationalism and cultural identity grew, causing the formation 

of a cartel and taking back the assets the countries believe 

belong to them. The Cartel disrupted the price of oil, causing 

major disruptions in world economics. Join Paul Downey. 

15136 T 11/8 2-4 p.m. Atascocita Downey 

We will investigate the development of Western Civilization, beginning 

with the ancient Etruscans (two parts), then the ancient Greeks,

Ancient Greeks 


Ancient Romans 


War between Wars, 1920 to 1940 

WWI was heralded as “The War to end all wars.” After 

the Treaty of Versailles had been signed ending the war, 

French general Fredrick Foch declared “this is not a treaty, 

but an armistice for twenty years!” He was mistaken by 

sixty-nine days. Several paths from the signing of the 

Treaty of Versailles to the fall of France in 1940 will be 

traced. We will explore the rise of Germany and Hitler, 

Britain’s continued colonialism against the rising nationalism, 

America’s return to isolationism and the Great Depression, 

the broken promises in the Middle East, and the rise of Stalin 

in Russia. Join Paul Downey.

The World Is Waiting … Let’s Go! 

The more you travel the more you realize how much we have 

in common with those who live in other cities and countries 

across the world. We are a global society and while we can 

teach a great deal to others, we have much to learn from 

cultures thousands of years older than ours in the U.S. We 

would like to show you a glimpse of some of the wonderful 

places we have visited and entice you to venture out and see 

them as well. The more you travel, the more you find better 

ways to pack, to navigate new locales, and be prepared 

for whatever. Travel should be an adventure and even when 

we take the wrong road or stumble into a restaurant not in 

our guidebook, we generally discover something better than 

what we were seeking. Join Kathy Adkins and Diane Blanco, 

both avid travelers, for some new locales, some packing 

shortcuts, and to learn more about safety on the journey.

Original Intent 

How did the framers of the Constitution really intend our 

government to work? Did they want a strong or weak 

executive? What did they intend the Supreme Court to do? 

This course will examine the writings of the framers of The 

Constitution to put a perspective on what those men were 

thinking that were in the room in 1787 when the Constitution 

was framed. Primary source will be The Federalist Papers, 

but other writings will be used as well. Meets September 20, 

27, October 4 and 11.

withstand the full impact of a Boeing 707 jet aircraft. What 

really caused their collapse?

Morality 

The subject of morality is often avoided because of unpleasant 

experiences of being told by others how we should behave,

history based on philosophy and human relationships. We

SUPER ADULTS SEMINAR SERIES meets 

Tuesdays, September 13 and October 25. 

Pathways to Aging and Beyond Seminars for 

Super Adults 

The motto for Super Adults is: To live a life of passion, 

immerse ourselves in our pursuits, show courage in 

exploring our inner selves and getting past worrying what 

others might think, as we are “the greatest generation,” 

and our country’s greatest human resource for sharing our 

wealth of knowledge and experience.” 

Join us as we expand our horizons in this seven-week 

seminar, supported by the Regional Resource Center for 

Super Adults: 

Seminar 1: Super Adults and their Impact on 

American Culture 

The first seminar will discuss the origin of Super Adults and 

the impact of American culture on how we deal with our 

youth and our aging. Co-presenter is Dr. Rebecca Riley, 

President of Lone Star College-Montgomery. 

17218 T 9/13 1-2 p.m. TUC Gottlieb/Riley 

Seminar 2: American Women and the Aging 

Process

“objects of the gaze” in art history; Cultural variations in 

perceptions of aging; Changing perceptions of “what is 

older” in the 20th-21st centuries; the anti-aging industry 

and women. Presented by Dr. Rebecca Riley, President of 

Lone Star College-Montgomery. 

17830 T 9/20 1-2 p.m. TUC Riley 

Seminar 3: The Aging Brain: What Does It Mean 

to the Super Adult

that you can maintain brain fitness. 

17831 T 9/27 1-2 p.m. TUC Shedden 

Seminar 4: Aging in Place 

The presentation will discuss the stages of life, how they 

have changed in the recent past and how an individual’s 

needs and perspectives change as they age. It will 

discuss how these needs can be addressed by having 

an organization that helps individuals learn to cope with 

these problems while leading a happy and meaningful 

life. 

17832 T 10/4 1-2 p.m. TUC Cunningham 

Seminar 5: Family Dynamics and Aging 

The presentation will discuss how much eldercare can 

impact the dynamics of their family relationships and the 

many varied and demanding issues which need to be

solutions, long-distance support, inheritance fights, refusal 

of care by an aging parent, power struggles and more.

perspectives on these questions. 

17834 T 10/18 1-2 p.m. TUC Gottlieb/Riley 

Seminar 7: Music and Aging 

Music is an essential element of human existence, and yet, 

we take it for granted, not understanding its impact on our 

emotional, social, intellectual and spiritual well-being. As 

a critical link to the soul, music draws us towards our innerbeing. 

It is a therapeutic healing agent and connects us 

to others. During this musical program, you will learn the 

importance of exercising your brain so that you can explore 

and experience music as a powerful component of healthy 

aging and continued personal growth. Paul English is an 

outstanding jazz pianist, and Adele Gorody is actively 

involved in educational programs that promote positive 

and realist approaches for life enrichment at any age. 

17387 T 10/25 1-2 p.m. TUC English/Gorody 

How to Care for a Loved One 

Often times family members feel they have no resources, 

support or options to help them care for a loved one. This 

class will demonstrate and explore many options that may 

be available to the families, whether it’s respite care, or 

contacting the right person to help them through challenging 

times to care for a loved one. The goal of this class is to 

bring awareness and hope to all families who may be in 

need of support and direction.

Investing for Dividends 

Learn how to build a portfolio of quality dividend paying 

stocks. Dividends are cash payments made by companies to 

their shareholders. Dividends are based on the company’s 

earnings and cash flow. The direction of stock prices does 

not necessarily affect dividend payments. Many companies 

have paid uninterrupted dividends for decades. If your 

stocks pay you dividends through ups and downs, you can 

have a reliable investment income that is not dependent 

on the market always going up. We will look at dividend 

histories, target yield, suitable price to earnings, earnings-todebt 

ratio, and current fair evaluation. Finally, we’ll discuss 

some of the tools we use to select dividend-paying stocks.

increase energy, and speed healing...by 

helping the body process past physical traumas and 

invasive procedures (even from decades before!)

reduced in seconds. 

• We can learn to reprogram our own “self-talk” so that 

we can become unstuck and make progress with our 

lives.

DOCUMENTARIES 

Hurricanes – The Perfect Storms 

Sweeping in from the sea, these violent weather systems 

can travel thousands of miles, leaving a trail of death and 

destruction in their wake. Vast areas of the landscape are

by a hurricane that killed more people than all other storms 

to strike the U.S. for the next century combined. Anywhere 

from 6,000-12,000 were killed in this deadly collision of 

natural forces. We’ll relive some of these catastrophic events

Harris County Precinct 4 Trip to Painted Churches 

From the outside, they look like many American country 

churches built around the turn of the last century-arched 

Gothic Revival windows, facades clad in white frame 

siding or in stone, and lone steeples rising up into the Texas 

sky. Cross the threshold of these particular Texas churches 

and you’ll encounter not a simple wooden interior but an 

unexpected profusion of color. Nearly every surface is 

covered with bright painting: exuberant murals radiate from 

the apse, elaborate foliage trails the walls, wooden columns 

and baseboards shine like polished marble in shades of 

green and gray. These are the Painted Churches of Texas.

buffet; and visit two more churches in the afternoon. Fees:
