Thursday, November 16
6-7 PM in the Padget Community Room
Sue Lehr, local author of Brilliant Bob - My Husband with Alzheimer's disease - our love story, will talk about her book, their lives together, and the stages of Alzheimer’s disease as they experienced it.
According to the American Alzheimer’s Association ... more than 5 million Americans have Alzheimer’s Disease. Bob was one of these statistics, but his and Sue’s daily life with Alzheimer’s for over ten years was much more complicated. Brilliant Bob - My Husband with Alzheimer’s Disease - our love story describes what happened as Bob and Sue progressed through the seven stages of this heinous disease for about 10 years before he died in 2014. Sue’s talk will focus on these stages and how they managed to cope, then follow with questions and discussion with the audience.

Pushing the Limits of Tradition
Tuesday, November 14 from 6-7 PM
As humans, we often cling to the familiar, and sometimes great dynasties result from children following in their parents’ footsteps. The human body can also benefit from the repetition of familiar motions and routines, creating the physical tradition of muscle memory.
We will explore how humans push the limits of tradition with Emily St. John Mandel’s national bestseller Station Eleven and Kari Zhe-Heimerman, Librarian for the Sciences at LeMoyne College. When a global pandemic ends the modern way of life in present-day America, how do traditions like art and culture survive?
Pushing the Limits of Transformation
Monday, December 11 from 6-7 PM
How are humans driven to transform the world around us, and how do we often transform ourselves in the process? We will explore how humans push the limits of transformation with Hope Jahren’s national bestseller Lab Girl and Sherilyn Smith, Professor of Biology at LeMoyne College.
Lab Girl is the fascinating memoir by American geochemist, geobiologist, and professor Hope Jahren. She explores the life cycle of trees, comparing it to her own transformation from a quiet childhood in bleak Minnesota to running a busy lab in Hawaii, weaving in observations on family, friendship, bipolar disorder, and the state of women in science. Lab Girl won the 2016 National Book Critics Circle Award.
