Annual Membership Mee ng

You are invited to a end the annual membership mee ng to be held on Saturday, October 16 at 2:00 pm. We will meet ON ZOOM for the purpose of communica ng and celebrat-ing OLLI at CSULB. The annual mee ng always off ers members a chance to hear about

"The State of OLLI" and to ask ques ons or hear from the volunteer Governing Council mem-bers about OLLI. We also must take care of business every two years by elec ng the next set of offi cers to take on the direc on and guidance of this organiza on. As you read through this issue of The SUN, you will see the slate of offi cers proposed for the coming two years, 2021 - 2023. They are all off ering their me and support for the good of the organiza on! Your job as a member of OLLI (thank you for signing up this year and paying your $40 membership!) is to a end the mee ng and vote for their acceptance! We will also have a li le social me and hear about the status of OLLI in 2021 - 2022. At this digital mee ng there will be no masks required, No paid parking needed on a Saturday a ernoon. You'll need to bring your own beverage or snack! Yes, we are acclimat-ing to life a er Covid. And we are thankful that OLLI remains a viable way for us to connect with each other and keep our minds ac ve. Join us for this short mee ng to thank the outgo-ing offi cers and to greet the in-coming group. We have had a diffi cult me, but with excellent leadership and eff ort, OLLI is surviving.

Elected Officers 2019-2021

In the “olden days,” before computers and the World Wide Web, I conducted my educa onal research manually in the

library. First, I searched my subject in the card catalogue and wrote down the call numbers pre-scribed by the all-encompassing Dewey Deci-mal System. Notes in hand, I headed off to the bookshelves, hoping the book I needed was not checked out, and stood tall in its assigned cubby on the shelves. In my search, I stumbled across many ar cles or books that struck my interest. Sadly, the bulk of them did not pertain to the paper I was working on, and did not merit misdirec ng my precious hours before deadline. During my senior year at CSULB I caught the glimmer of light called gradua on and realized that I would soon have more free me. I started making a list of ar cles and subjects that would have side tracked me and delayed the comple on of my paper. I concluded that I could fi nd them again in my post-graduate life. Fortunately, I lived next door to a library and put it to use as my new portal to learning. I calculated that focusing on one topic for a few weeks would provide the hours and depth of a semester of study. I gathered all the materi-als I could fi nd on the designated subject and read them without the pressure of a deadline. Some topics took a couple of weeks, others consumed me for many weeks, but it was at my discre on. OLLI provides the same opportunity for learning, just for fun. Simply a ach yourself to a class because it interests you and rounds out your life experience. As I explain to friends, there is no a endance requirement, no tests and no grades. What could be be er? Live well and be happy in your quest for life-long learning . . . the OLLI way.

If you wish to help you can designate your contribu on toward our new equipment.But now that the epidemic is coming to an end, I hope we can get back to normal campus life as soon as possible with a new OLLI Execu ve Council resul ng from the upcoming elec on. I fully endorse the slate of offi cers proposed herein by the nomina ng commi ee and say good-bye to Mary Meyer who served eff ec vely as our secretary for two terms. You may know her from the Current Events class where she has taught for many years. Another change in the Execu ve Council moves Karin Covey from her long-standing s nt as Treasurer to Vice President so we will not be losing her valuable service. And I’d be remiss if I didn’t acknowledge our wonderful Execu ve Director Barbara and Becky and Lee in the offi ce who made my job much smoother than I ever expected. I wish Barbara great fun and health in her real re rement.

It has been an honor to serve as your Governing Council President these past two years. Working with such talented and dedicated volunteers on the Governing

Council and our diligent staff has been both rewarding and s mula ng. Of course, I never expected to serve my term almost totally as a “virtual” president, interac ng with OLLI management and students primarily via zoom.

I started my term in offi ce in Nov. 2019 with a new OLLI Strategic Plan and a lot of hope of implemen ng the bulk of it during my two years at the helm. Well, you know the old saying about how plans fl y out the window once the war starts. Nonetheless, even with the war on Covid raging

we were able to accomplish some of our goals and make progress on several others and for this I am very proud of and thankful to our organiza on.

Amazingly, we were able to transi on our classes from the campus to the cyberworld of Zoom; we dealt with the loss of Leisure World as a venue by expanding to several other off -site loca ons; we established an eff ec ve marke ng commi ee; and we revised our website to conform to CSULB standards along with implemen ng other eff ec ve communica ons tools.

But many of our planned objec ves require in-person coordina on and mee ngs and thus had to be postponed un l we are back on campus. That has been my greatest disappointment, but understandable in light of the restric ons due to the virus.

Having to put all our classes on-line rocketed us toward the goal of providing distance learning and serendipitously, temporarily solved the "parking at the campus" problem. This experience made us aware that many of our students wished to have an op on to stay on Zoom a er the virus is gone and the campus is open. So, we will provide hybrid classes as we inch our way back onto the campus. And that realiza on forced us to reconfi gure our main classroom with addi onal audio/visual and networking equipment to accommodate students who are both in-class and at-home. In turn, that further damaged our budget at the same me our membership dropped due to Covid-19. We now need addi onal generosity from our members and the community to get through this fi nancial setback and enable

This information is courtesy of Wes Wong, long-time computer lab coach and Zoom co-host. If you want to put your vaccination re-cord on your smartphone so you will always know where it is, and so you can easily show proof of vaccination, here's where you can get an of-fi cial, digital copy from the state of California. Go to https://myvaccinerecord.cdph.ca.gov/ You'll need to provide your cellphone number and email address. There's also a link on that page for anyone who wants to get vaccinated. If the folks at the vaccine record department can't fi nd yours, you will be quickly notifi ed. Then you will be asked to text photos of your vaccination card and driver's license and they will start digging. The website says this pro-cess will take from two to three weeks.

We’re brushing the cobwebs off the equip-ment in the computer lab, which has been unoccupied for six terms now, and ge ng it

ready to welcome three classes on Wednesdays and two on Thursdays. The rest of the technology classes will con nue to be on Zoom Fall term.

Many of you know iPad instructor Marilyn Ge ys, who has been away from OLLI during the pandemic. We’re very happy to have

her kicking off the reopening of the computer lab and back with in-person classes again on Wednesdays. She will be teaching Travel with your iPad /iPhone, Photos on your iPad / iPhone, and Introduc on to the iPad. Perla Gu errez, who has been teaching on Zoom every quarter, has moved back to teaching in the computer lab on Thursdays, so now you can get over-the-shoulder help when you take her Smartphone Video Edi ng class or the Apps and Social Media class. And I’ll be teaching two 3 week sessions of What’s /New in iOS 15 (iOS) Tuesdays on Zoom. Apple is upda ng its iOS opera ng system (for the iPhone), as it does every year. This update has some interes ng features in the FaceTime, Weather, Maps, Camera and other-apps. There also are new features, including Focus and App Privacy Report.

The winner of coming the greatest distance to a end a summer OLLI class is...

Susan Bouris, co-host of Beyond the Basics. She joined the class from Greece, where she and

her husband were visi ng family. Thanks to Susan for co-hos ng and being a loyal OLLI Volunteer!

Working behind the scenesThere is part of an OLLI class, whether it's in person on on Zoom, that you can't see, and that if it's done right, you won't know about. In addi on to the offi ce staff , there are behind the scenes volunteers who help things run smoothly. We can call out some long me helpers like Carl Cur s and Jack Friedman, who solve technical problems in the big classroom. Wesley Peck, is the technical prob-lem solver in the computer lab. Lately we have had the support of Ed Dignan, Barbara Norberg, and Wes Wong who work with ProClass, our registra on so -ware. Yes - it does take a village to make everything go smoothly... and we're always looking for more Villagers!

sity sponsorship no OLLI would or could exist. We are grateful. The challenges of the last couple of years have tested our me le and you, our members and friends, have risen to the challenge and embraced (is that too strong a word?) Zoom mee ngs as our means of keeping connected and learning. While we look forward to seeing each other on campus and at other off -site ven-ues, COVID has brought us the opportunity for distance/hybrid learning so that we can reach out to members un-able to travel to campus; who are watching grandchildren, caring for other family members, are off traveling, or have go en comfortable in jammies or sweats and would like to stay home some of the me. We’ve learned that communi-ty can develop online, though it is not a subs tute for face-to-face. OLLI is growing in diff erent and exci ng ways from this pandemic experience. Let’s embrace it! Thank you for allowing me to grow in diff erent and exci ng ways as your Execu ve Director.Wishing you good health, happiness, and courage when needed on your journeys... Dr Barbara White

From the Executive Director From the Executive Director by Dr. Barbara White

It’s been an amazing assignment to be your Execu ve Di-rector! This is my 51st and last outreach to you in this amazing publica on, The SUN. By late September you

can expect that a new Director will be in place. I know you will welcome him or her with open arms. To both new, and longer standing members of OLLI @ CSULB I want to sing the praises of the Governing Councils with whom I’ve had the privilege of working. Their love of, and dedica on to the nurturing of this organiza on has made it what it is today and what will carry it into the future. This, however, comes with a caveat. The new Coun-cil you will elect this fall will need your help to keep OLLI vibrant and strong. I hope each member will con nue to support OLLI with your me, your talent, and your tribute, as possible. You did not sign up just for classes, you are part of a community, a village – and it takes a village! I must also thank our wonderful staff , Becky Low

and Lee Sianez. They are the heart and soul of OLLI and work reless-ly for you. And none of this would be possible without the 25 years of support for OLLI @ CSULB from our College of Health and Human Services deans. Without Univer-

OLLI On the Road Again by Barry Bosscher

“ As the traveler who has once been from home is wiser than he who has never left his own doorstep, so a knowledge of one other culture should sharpen our ability to scrutinize more steadily, to appreciate more lovingly, our own.” — Margaret Mead

In December, 2019, OLLI sponsored a trip to Riverside’s Mission Inn to view the beau- ful holiday lights. Li le did we know at

the me that would be the last OLLI trip for what is now approaching two years. The Travel Commi ee has been trying to fi ll the gap with virtual travel sugges ons, including a wonderful OLLI "armchair" travel class led by Jackie Baird-Bunker. The travel company OLLI uses, Good Times Travel, is again off ering both day and mul -day trips. They are doing so with strict COVID 19 guidelines and protocol. You may visit their website for more informa on. Due to the popularity of the 2019 Mission Inn trip, which quickly sold out, we have again scheduled a trip with Good Times Travel to the Mission Inn for December 16. This, of course, is subject to COVID condi ons and travel restric ons in December.

Please note that Good Times is not taking reser-va ons yet for the trip.

We will keep you updat-ed on the status of the trip as we get closer to the travel date in December.

Election Time at OLLI by Rebecca Low

The Fall Membership mee ng is designed to provide an opportunity for members to learn more about OLLI, to share sugges ons or concerns, and to take care of OLLI business (i.e. elec on of offi cers).

1917 and con nues to educate concerned ci zens on govern-ment foreign policy. By using their materials, and forming facilitated discussion groups, the class will dive deep into what’s happening around the world and the impli-ca ons on society. It is Bill’s greatest desire that those who take the class will learn to use logic, reason and science to form intelligent opinions. He believes that it is a well-educated and ac ve populace that can exert pressure on government decisions through vocaliza on, le ers to newspapers, and congress. As class facilitator, Bill has been a frequent OLLI student for the past six to eight years. Although not educated in Poli cal Science he has taken the Current Events class mul- ple mes. He espouses the objec ve and tle of OLLI as a

life-long learner. His interests and exper se include poli cs, nutri on/nutri onal supplementa on and health. Class size is limited for discussion purposes and pur-chase of the book is encouraged.

Cultural History of China by Tom Lockhart

Ever wonder what was so forbidding about China’s Forbidden City? How could a country that invented paper-

making, movable type prin ng, gunpowder, the compass, and the mechanical clock before 1000 AD enter the 20th Century as one of the most backward places in the world? Learn the answers to these and many other intriguing ques ons about the world’s most populous country in Dr. Teresa Sun’s the Cultural History of China. The course will cover cultural topics of a broad spectrum, encompassing subjects on China’s historical, phil-osophical, linguis c, literary, and ar s c tradi ons. For people who follow the changing scenes of world aff airs, this class will help broaden your understanding of

the underlying cause and eff ect of the sociopoli cal development of an old civiliza on. The knowledge provided will sa sfy inquisi ve minds on the behavior pa erns of

Foreign Policy Discussion by Tom Hood

Have you ever wondered how the United States de-cides to address global events with other na ons, allying with some, pressuring some, and opposing

others? If you have, this new class facilitated by Bill Shaddle will not only shed light on this policy making process, but also lead to your own in-depth cri cal thinking. By gaining a be er understanding of how foreign public opinion is infl u-enced by government and media sound bites, you can be-gin to realize that we are part of a global society and not a stand-alone na on. As an example, if we looked at Arc c explora on for oil in a warming planet, we’d fi nd eleven na ons, with or without land above the Arc c Circle, claiming mineral and oil rights, led by Russia and the United States. What policy would work for all, especially the most aff ected indigenous popula ons? Bill has studied for-eign policy in print, videotapes and seminars, and used “Great Decisions in Foreign Aff airs” off ered by the Foreign Policy Associa on. This associa on has been in existence since

the Chinese people. Seven topics will be ex-amined and each will deal with one dis nct cultural characteris c. The focus will be how a cultural tradi on was shaped. Class lectures will be accompanied by slides and discussions. As an expert in China’s culture, Teresa brings an excitement and dedica- on to the classroom. This is inspired by her dangerous childhood experiences. As

a young girl she survived the Japanese invasion of Mainland China in 1943 and the takeover of China led by Communist party leader Mao Zedong in 1949. Desperately escaping to Taiwan with the remnants of the Na onalist Chinese gov-ernment, she se led there with her family. Teresa brings an impressive academic record to her classes, with a BA in Chinese Literature from Taiwan Normal University, an MA in Educa on from UCLA, and a Doctorate in Educa on from Seton Hall University in New Jersey.

Movie Matinees by Rick Adams

Do you ever wonder what all those people in the movie credits do? Directors, editors, cinematog-raphers, designers? Allan Goldstein invites you to

learn about them during Movie Ma nees. He will screen some of the best Academy Award fi lms and share his per-sonal behind-the-scenes experiences of who does what on a movie set. As more of a “host” than a “teacher,” Allan intro-duces signifi cant fi lms and explains how the magic evolves. Each class will focus on one of the credits you see on the scroll at the end of a fi lm. He will explain that person’s con-tribu on in ge ng the fi lm made. Then you will view a

fi lm that showcases that skill. Learn about costume design-ers, best-boys, loca on scouts, screenwriters and choreogra-phers. The class will help you be er appreciate fi lms and gain a deeper understanding of the many crea ve roles that collaborate to create the amaz-

ing things you see on the screen.

Allan knows all this from his years in the fi lm industry. He wrote & directed Death Wish 5 with Charles Bronson. Interest-ingly, it opened the same day as the Northridge earthquake. He is an interna onal award winning and Emmy-nominat-ed director/screenwriter with more than fi y drama c produc ons to his credit. Allan has worked for most of the major Hollywood fi lm studios and television networks as well as HBO, PBS, and Sci-Fi. He has worked with Leslie Nielsen, John Malkovich, Gary Sinise, W. H. Macey and Burt Lancaster to name but a few. He earned a BA in Psychology at Concordia Univer-sity; an MS at York University, and a Master of Educa on, CSUN. He is a member of the Directors Guild of America, Writers Guild of America and Directors Guild of Canada.Come watch wonderful movies on Thursdays for 7 weeks (2:00 - 5:00 pm). Allan’s biggest wish is for you to be enter-tained, intellectually challenged and have fun.

Gi cards are a leading payment method for scam-mers. As walls of cards grew like weeds in stores, criminals realized they were an easy way to rake

in money that’s untraceable. The FTC has cracked down on wire-transfer fraud, and consumers have go en smart about not giving out their credit card numbers to strangers, thus the rise of cards as a favorite for rip-off ar sts. Gi cards now are being used in many scams: to make amends with the “Internal Revenue Service” for back taxes, to send funds to “grandchildren” who assert they’ve been in an accident and need help, to purchase “tech sup-port” for imaginary computer problems and to pay “Social Security” to remedy supposed iden ty-the problems. Except the purported recipients aren’t real — they’re all crooks, with some part of criminal networks. “If someone is asking you to put money on a gi card to pay them, it’s a scam,” says the FTC’s Pa Poss.It’s easy to second-guess how someone can fall for these ruses, but criminals are very persuasive. They can keep vic- ms on the phone to prevent them from ge ng an objec- ve view from a trusted friend. Some even convince vic ms

that they are about to be arrested for unpaid taxes and tell

them exactly what cards to buy, usually iTunes, Google Play, Amazon or Steam. Once a vic m reads a gi card number and PIN over the phone — or sends a digital photo of the numbers — a criminal can im-mediately spend the funds online or sell the data on the dark web. Some crooks don’t wait for a copy; they keep the vic m on the phone un l the numbers are read to them. Hang up and do not answer again. 3 ps to avoid gi card scams• Use gi cards only as gi s for people you know — and never for payments.• Legi mate businesses and government agencies will never demand payment in gi cards.• If your religious leader, grandchild or anyone else calls or emails and asks for money, fi rst call them back to make sure that it is really them and not an impersonator.

Celebrating OLLI - 25 for the 25th25 for the 25th Anniversary of OLLI at CSULB

Including OLLI in your estate plans is a lovely way to leave an enduring legacy that will support OLLI programs long into the future. By making a planned gi to the Osher

Lifelong Learning Ins tute at CSULB, you become a member of a Legacy Circle and affi rm your commitment to learning. These gi s — or bequests — are dona ons that you des-ignate in your will, estate, or trust. Our goal at this me is to hear from 25 members/families willing to join the team.There is no minimum gi requirement to join the Legacy Circle, and the benefi ts are many. For example:• Planned gi s aff ord you fl exibility to provide for your family and support OLLI.• Certain planned gi s may reduce capital gains taxes.• Planned gi s need not aff ect your cash fl ow during your life me. Certain types of planned gi s allow you to support OLLI while also providing income for the rest of your life — or a fi xed income for a loved one.• The joy of knowing that your legacy gi will sustain programs for years to come is the ul mate benefi t! If you have already included OLLI in your estate plans, please contact Susan Berkman susan.berkman@csulb.edu to enroll in the Legacy Circle so that we may celebrate you too!

Help to Keep OLLI Vibrant!

We off er menbers a chance to survey the success, or failure, of classes at each session end. We value the me and eff ort that our Volunteer

teachers off er to OLLI and hope that they too are receiv-ing the kind of feedback and praise that make this program a success. One common comment is about the kinds of classes we would love to see! Here are sugges ons from the surveys of the last few sessions. Can you help teach?

• Ocean Containers/heavy li transporta on• ZUMBA!!--for the not so young! Maybe give an idea of

the music used. It's really hard to hear the instructor's music, but if we know certain songs would be used, we could get them ourselves.

• Greek and Roman Gods/Goddesses. • Na ve American culture/History of California• Intermediate computer class for Apple/Mac.• Beginning art classes- calligraphy, collage,Drawing.• Pain ng at Beginner level• History of dance! or any kind of History.• Old Testament - World Religion - Bible Study• Beginning Photography • Alzheimer ‘s Disease• More from the Two Bobs for movie script reading, • Stand up comedy - or variety of Play Reading• On-campus bowling - or other Sports• More gardening classes.• A sign language class to learn sign language basics.• Poetry wri ng or apprecia on• Any subject Dr. Moran feels equipped to teach• Music from the 60's 70's 80's 90's. (Steve Propes!)• Classical Music related topics• Any foreign language - for traveling?• More about technology because things seem to be

changing quickly. Help with iPad or iPhone.• More worldwide queens and empresses from the past

(100 years ago or more). To understand the culture and customs of various countries.

• Architecture, Art apprecia on Are these enough ideas? If you fi nd a teacher, or want

to give it a try yourself, contact the OLLI offi ce and we'll add to our off er-ings. More informa on can be found on the website www.csulb.edu/olli

Do you believe in volunteers? We do! Volunteers are the heart and soul of OLLI at CSULB, and we are looking for someone to be their leader and

advocate. We have over 150 volunteers at OLLI, and we never want them to think they are less than essen al. The posi on would have the advantage of being the Co-Chair of the Member Services Working Group. They meet monthly to look at the services or ac vi es that might be needed for members. Du es would also include par cipa on on the Governing Council of OLLI. Now’s the me to step up and help us support our volunteers. If you are you interested, or know someone who might be, contact the OLLI offi ce at (562) 985-8237.

Wanted: You!

Notes from Anne KupillasThis week, the OLLI Watercolor Pain ng class painted a handsome rooster. The students incorporated several techniques we've been prac cing, including wet-on-wet backgrounds, so ening, using diff erent consistencies and drybrush. Here are some of the students' fantas c works!The class had an idea to post a gallery of their work! I've loaded the ones which they sent me (thank you!) from yesterday's lesson.

Music MakersIt has not been easy to keep making music as a group over the past year. Decisions about masks or no masks, breath-ing outside or inside, and even fi nding a loca on to use that makes everyone comfortable was hard. Carol Baker and friends have been willing to make it work and keep the Jammin' with OLLI class rolling along. When outdoor loca ons became a bit safer - they moved to the Marina Vista Park and kept on playing! Make Music Day was cel-ebrated in June! For the summer they used the Rec Park Community center - inside at fi rst and then out. Anything to keep the music going!

The Recorder class joined in the fun! See page 19 for listing.

OLLI Community Parking permits are now $45 per month. OLLI members must be entered in the parking database and then can buy a permit online. Alterna vely - visit the Brot-man Hall cashier with OLLI ID and vehicle informa on for help with permits. A virtual permit allows parking in GENERAL LOTS. The closest parking is in Lots 13 - 14 and structures off of Palo Verde Ave. E6 near the HSD building is for Employees with a few handicapped spaces for anyone with permits. With an ADA placard AND the permit , you may park in any Blue space in any lot. State University Dr. is a metered city street and can be used by ADA placard holders without having to buy the permit. The Founda on Parking lot has an a endant. Daily pricing is the same but loca on is closer to OLLI classrooms.An Ac vity Permit can be purchased for $30 per month for use on weekends in any Lot. The Daily rate in lots on campus is now $12. Daily short-term virtual parking permits are avail-able at kiosks in all lots. See campus map. You need your plate number to purchase. Daily parking is al-lowed in Employee Parking lots only on weekends.

OLLI in person again

Short-Term permits are valid only within the lot in which they were purchased and can-not be transferred to other Short-Term parking loca- ons on campus. Purchas-

ing a Daily permit is a less expensive parking op on if you

will be on campus less than four days per month. ($12 per day vs $45 per month) U lizing sustainable transporta on is the most cost eff ec ve way to get to campus. If you must drive, consider carpooling. Save money by traveling to campus by bus, bike, carpool or even walking. For more informa on on each of these sustainable trans-porta on modes, please visit www.csulb.edu/ride. Try using the bus www.ridelbt.comUse the stop at Brotman Hall, and walk across campus where the path is shaded and easy. Taking transit to cam-pus is easy! To determine the best route, enter your start and end des na ons into a map applica on like Google Maps and then select the transit icon.

New in-Person Class Loca onAs you look for OLLI classes this fall, you will fi nd that some are being held at the St. Isidore Historical Plaza on the corner of Reagan Street and Katella in Los Alamitos. You’ve probably passed this loca on many mes and have been curious about it but never stopped in. It is the oldest community building in Los Alamitos and is full of history and interes ng architecture. It is a lovely gathering place with nearby free and easy parking. Our thanks to Hortensia Breton who suggested it as the loca on for a Spanish conversa on class. When you are there, cross Reagan St. and discover another historic icon, The Pasty Kitchen. Enjoy a tasty English-style meat pie a er your

Spanish or Tai Chi class.

OLLI FarewellsRicardo Refugio Valdez December 15, 1934 - August 2, 2021. Ricardo is survived by Diane, his partner of 33 years, also 5 children, 13 grandchildren and 6 great grand-children. Sadly, his son Edmund passed away from Covid 19 in February. Ricardo kept busy and surely saved lives at the Suicide Preven on Center, and as a volunteer at the Long Beach Health Department. He was a member of OLLI going way back, even before Diane re red from teaching and was able to join him in

classes. An accomplished musician, he was o en seen with his Ukulele and he spread his passion for music and learning to all.

A Memorial service will be held at All Souls Catholic Cemetery. September 11, 2021. The Rosary is at 12 pm and the Memorial is at 1 pm. Recep on follows at the club house at Marina Pacifi ca condos on 2nd Street, Long Beach.

In Memory of Carroll Jones I am making this dona on to honor the memory of my husband, Carroll Jones, a wonderful person and computer coach at OLLI. Please share this dona on with any fel-low students/teachers/coaches that really need help and pass on good vibes, energy, love and anything else posi ve I can think of in his honor!~ Margaret Jones It was very kind of her to make the dona on. I too remember Margaret driving Carroll to the class I taught, where he coached, then picking him up when it was over. She must have known how much it meant for him to be able to par cipate.~ Kathy W Yes, I remember Carroll Jones. He would o en coach with me for Don Patman in Beginning Comput-ers. His large girth was matched by his large heart. May his soul rest in peace. ~ Bob Hannan Carroll and I became good iPad coaches together. He and I both got iPad Pro 12.9 inch tablets when they came out. He off ered his insight into helping students get hooked up on the wifi . I looked forward to seeing him each week. Towards the end, Margaret would drive up and I would help him into class as he used a walker. He made me a be er coach and I s ll miss him each session. Kathy and I a ended his memori-al. Thanks for the message from Margaret. ~ Words from Wes Wong(See photo on page 4)
