OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA …Special Speakers Series recently presented The Three Mrs. Flaglers, who were the three wives of Henry Flagler, the Industrialist who developed Florida.  His story is quite fascinating and it has been said that no other individual has had a greater or more lasting impact on a State than he has had on Florida through the building of transportation infrastructure and the railroad, tourism along the entire east coast of Florida to Key West, and the agricultural industries through land development. He was one of the wealthiest men in the world who had captivating wives; a very loyal wife, a very flamboyant wife OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA and the a very vivacious wife.  Dianne Jacoby OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA from St. Augustine portrayed all three wives, each one dressed in the luxurious fashion of the day as they tell their own unique stories.    I will say no more, just if it is offered again I would highly recommend it. I’m mentioning this because this Saturday The Lifelong Learning College will be holding an Open House at the College from 9am to 1pm, where you will get to meet over 60 Instructors and where over 100 of the 480 classes will be showcased.  Besides being able to meet the instructors and finding out more about the classes they offer, the other great thing is being able to pick up the Catalog for classes July through December.  It does give you a jump start on registration and that is a good thing, as some classes fill up very quickly.  I have taken quite a few classes in a wide variety of subjects and have never been disappointed.  The instructors are terrific.  If you have questions you can go to www.thevillageslifelongcollege.com or you can call 753-3035.  The College is located in the The Villages High School complex. Perhaps I will see you at the Open House, or better yet maybe we will be classmates.
