President’s MessagePresident’s MessagePresident’s MessagePresident’s Message
W elcome to the 2019-2020 fiscal year at the University Club of Winter Park.
As the new president I join the list of former women presidents: Elizabeth Brothers (1999-2000), Diane Sandquist (2001-02), Max Reed (2009-10), Diana Secor (2014-16), and Barbara Buchele (2018-19). The Club was originally founded as a men’s club so we are the proud few! The new board was elected at the March Annual Meeting. Along with officers and our host of volunteers, activity leaders, and committee chairs, I invite you to a new year of fellowship, intellectual and educational stimulation, and pure enjoyment. As we head into the summer season I encourage you to read the Club Times in order to keep up with all activities, some of which might be changing. Be-cause inviting guests is the main means of recruiting new members, it is impor-tant that you stay informed of all that goes on. Membership is essential to keep-ing the Club experience beneficial to all. We hope you will provide feedback on how we can be of service to you, our most important resource. You have already received the new dues statement and we hope that your mem-bership will continue in a timely manner. We offer great experiences for a great price. Don’t forget to update your information for the new Yearbook and have Holly or Rebecca take your picture if there is not one already on file; be sure to wear your name badge for the picture. We may not always remember names, but we never forget a face. Get ready for another great year! Gilda Gomez

LIBRARY TREASURES
STAR READER MAUREEN HOLLOWAY
PRESENTS PULITZER PRIZE WINNERS
O ur latest Star Reader is Maureen Holloway. She is one of our most faithful Li-brary users. She is also responsible for our current display: Pulitzer Prize Winners
in Fiction. After Maureen suggested a Pulitzer display, she also generated the list of books. Her idea came from reading two Pulitzer books last summer, To Kill a Mock-
ingbird and Middlesex. She also knew an Atlanta man who was reading through the list so she adopted the same goal for herself. She has read sixteen so far. Some of you may have reading goals too. If so, please share. Maureen prefers novels to other genres, particularly ones from past decades. She was an English major and also an editor of commercial and corporate magazines and a po-litical public-relations writer. Like many of us she adored Nancy Drew as a child but also read way above her age group, with books such as All Quiet on the Western Front
and Mutiny on the Bounty. We are so lucky to have Maureen as a member of the Uni-versity Club and are grateful for her Pulitzer suggestion. The Pulitzer Prize has been awarded annually since 1917 by Columbia University as the legacy of newspaper magnate Joseph Pulitzer. Our library has a nearly complete collection. They are displayed through May atop the cart garage in the Library. Please check them out. The Star honor is bestowed on an irregular basis by the Library staff to exceptionally voracious readers, based on Li-brary activity. Previous honorees are Dan Schulz and the late Stan Weinroth.

Mon. May 6 <<HISTORY>> Who Really Was John F. Kennedy? Author and UCF Professor Emeritus, Dr. Jerry Schiffhorst looks at President Kennedy’s early life and medical history in an effort to shed fresh light on the man behind the myth. In spite all that has been written about him, Kennedy remains a bit of a mystery, often puzzling his many biographers as well as those who knew him well. Former Member Schiffhorst, who has addressed this group fre- quently, explores the way his character affected his public career and why many Americans consider him one of the great American presidents of all time.

Tue. May 7 <<PHILOSOPHICAL DISCUSSION>> If truth is relative, are the following conclusions valid? Nothing is true, in and of itself; you can’t know anything for sure; and in the final analysis, nothing matters. Your thoughts? Evolu- tion and natural selection are as intangible as the God they replace. How can you know they even exist? On what grounds? If you say, “they are proven as we can see their results!” you imply a set of criteria, standards, or proto- cols that “point to one answer and not to another.” What would that be? When you decide, ask “What else would be true if this were the case?” Bring your own topics and friends! Chair: Don Cain
1:00 p.m. CONTRACT BRIDGE - Meets weekly. This is a casual, friendly group. If you are interested or have questions, contact Max at [email protected] or 407-625-1664 for more information or to get your name on the email list. Chair: Max Reed

Lost But Not Forgotten
“Lost But Not Forgotten” is a historical reenactment presented by the Winter Park Public Library. Featured are Gus C. Henderson, played by Orange County Fire Department Chaplain Dr. Barry Brandon, Walter B.
Simpson played by Winter Park native Elder Thomas Floyd, and Frank R. Israel played by native Winter Park resident Elder Ben Floyd. These men were crucial to Winter Park being incorporated as a city. The play pays homage to their roles and explains the struggle, tenacity, and passion of the three men as they worked to develop a city that’s home for many of
us. The play was written by Winter Park resident Maria Olivia Bryant. The program promises to be both informa-tive and entertaining.

Mon. May 13 <<HISTORY’S MYSTERIES>> This month we will view Part I of the 107-minute film, Out of the Blue.

Tue. May 14 <<ECONOMICS FOR THE LAYPERSON>> Did the Fed Kill the Business Cycle? The business (or eco- nomic) cycle is generally regarded as a recurring, fairly predictable pattern of periodic fluctuations in the econ- omy. But has such unprecedented intervention by the Fed distorted the business cycle beyond reasonable nor- malcy? Is the Fed too focused on Wall Street rather than the real economy? How has the transition from manu- facturing to a service-based economy affected the cycle? What role have technological advances and the diver- sity of our economic played? Join us in the library to weigh in! Chair: Matt Giles

It estab-lished Bogart as a romantic lead and was the debut vehicle for Lauren Bacall as well as her first pairing with Bogart. It also presented the quintessential Director Hawks’ hero, an individualist who expresses his sense of justice and morality through action.

Mon. May 20 <<HISTORY>> Khrushchev and Gorbachev The fall of the Soviet Union did not take place in a vacuum, but was initiated by two leaders who allowed the Soviet people to openly view the world of the West and be influ- enced by new ideas. Member Joel Rubin, PhD, addresses the group, discussing how Nikita Khrushchev was not the stupid buffoon he sometimes portrayed himself to be and Mikhail Gorbachev was not the orthodox Communist the Soviet leadership hoped he would be. These two Soviet leaders paved the way for Russia to become a democracy by showing that socialism was not the hope for the future of Russia. While these men are reviled in Russia today, their contributions to bringing Russia and its people into a more productive and democratic world cannot by denied. Co-Chairs: Sherry Levy and Ovid Vitas

Growing Bolder As We Age
M arc Middleton is the founder and CEO of Bolder Broadcasting and Growing Bolder. He is a media entrepreneur, television journalist, author, filmmaker, speaker, activist,
and consultant who focuses on the changing culture of aging. He is a multiple Emmy-award-winning broadcaster and the host of TV’s Growing Bolder, seen on public broadcasting sta-tions nationwide.
Marc believes that we are all victims of a propaganda machine that makes us fear aging during what can be the best days of our lives. He will share the secrets to disconnecting from the age-ist belief system that can destroy our futures, and he will share the keys to transforming aging from a time of loss and limitation into a time of passion, purpose, and possibility.
The Growing Bolder founders appeared on our stage many years ago during the early days of the organization, brought to us by the late Bobbe Lyon.

Tue. May 28 <<PHILOSOPHICAL DISCUSSION>> Cloning and Identity - We will view and discuss this lecture from Professor Steven Gimbel's Great Course DVD: “Redefining Reality: The Intellectual Implications of Mod-
ern Science.” Technology has influenced how we think of death and birth. Earliest life has been subject to technology since the use of wet nurses, but it has become so open to manipulation that it is now possible for seven distinct individuals to significantly affect a child's biology and be considered parents. The most radical technology in this field is cloning. Offering us the opportunity of genetic immortality and of bringing back ex- tinct species, cloning may also produce major genetic flaws and diseases. Is cloning a step too far ethically or is it just the next phase in our ability to control life? Chair: Richard Kronenfeld
