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, LSCMontgomery, LSC-North Harris, LSC-Tomball, and LSCUniversity 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.

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.

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.

Hearne Had a POW Camp?
During the 2nd World War, the Allies needed a place to put
the large number of Axis soldiers who were surrendering. The
first large group of soldiers taken prisoner by the American
army were Rommel’s Afrika Korps. The U.S., needing POW
camps, started looking stateside and Hearne Camp, among
others, was born. We will look at the town, the prisoners,
the guards, as we discuss this little-known aspect of WWII.

History of Presidential Elections
Departing from the monarchical tradition of Britain, the
Founding Fathers of the United States created a system in
which the American people had the power and responsibility
to select their leader. Taking place every four years,
presidential campaigns and elections have evolved into
a series of fiercely fought, and sometimes controversial,
contests which are now played out in the 24-hour news
cycle. Join Heidi Green, LSC-CyFair professor of Political
Science, as she leads us through a discussion of infamous

Poetry Power
Imagine painting your own vase of flowers, using Van
Gogh’s colors. Prospective artists do this to learn the use
of color as well as other components of creating a work of
art. In the same way, poetry can teach writing poetry, using
a variation of the same method; only instead of color, the
medium is the word. Using this technique, participants will

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).

The Lost Battalion
In the days immediately preceding America’s entry into

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

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

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

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, systemwide. The program will be held in Building H, Room 102

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 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.

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

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

Alabama Monuments Man (Special Event)
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.
in 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 is
currently working on a book length project examining the U.S.
Army Occupation of Germany between 1945-1949 and the

RELIGION & SPIRITUALITY
Can We Be Good Without God? – The Problem of
Morality
The subject of morality is often avoided because of unpleasant
experiences of being told by others how we should behave,
frequently by religious groups that claim that without God
we would not be moral. But morality has a more positive
history based on philosophy and human relationships. We
will address morality and the philosophical, religious, and
cultural factors that define it.

SUPER ADULTS SEMINAR SERIES meets
Tuesdays, September 13 and October 25.
LSC-MONTGOMERY
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.”

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,

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.

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.

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, systemwide. The program will be held in Building H, Room 102

Adolf Hitler’s rise to power. The displays progress through
the disruption of normal life, to segregation, to imprisonment
in concentration camps, and finally to extermination. The
roles of collaborators, by-standers, rescuers, and liberators
are portrayed through artifacts, film reels, photographs, and
text panels. General admission is $12. Bring your Lone Star

Peanut Butter Factory Visit
A remarkable alliance evolved about 10 years ago to help
abate hunger. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints
(LDS) and the Houston Food Bank formed a partnership
through use of the church’s peanut butter cannery located
at 16333 Hafer Road, Houston 77090. Here, a state-of-theart plant owned by the LDS is designed solely to help with
hunger relief wherever needed, in all parts of the world.
Today is our chance to tour this wonderful facility and see
the peanut butter making process.

Apps. If you have a Google Gmail account (you can get one

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
swamped with tidal surges of up to 20 feet high, deluged
with torrential rain, and battered by ferocious winds, often
exceeding 100 miles an hour. In 1900, Galveston was rocked
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
that have wreaked chaos on an awesome scale.

AcuColors for You and Me
Karen Johnson, RN and Naturopath, presents a thorough
session on AcuColors to heal the body. AcuColors uses

body releases negative energy, as well as rebalances and
harmonizes. Learn how you can color your own way to
better health.

to heal your pet than to use colored light – since animals are
beings of light energy! Karen Johnson, RN and Naturopath,
teaches this class.

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

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

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

of the Open House to go directly to the sign-up
tables when the doors open.

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.
Leave the EMI Parking Lot at 8 a.m. to travel to Schulenburg.
Visit two painted churches in the morning; enjoy a lunch
buffet; and visit two more churches in the afternoon. Fees:
$10 to enter churches; $11 for lunch; $5 tips for guide and

MYT 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, systemwide. The program will be held in Building H, Room 102
(the Recital Hall), on the LSC-Montgomery campus.

of your application since we will not need to manually match your application with other materials such as transcripts and test scores. Supplying an SSN also ensures
that you will be able to claim the Hope Tax Credit if you are eligible on your federal tax return. Lone Star College uses the SSN for compliance with federal and state
reporting requirements and has a strong commitment to ensuring the privacy and confidentiality of student records and will not disclose your SSN without your consent
for any purpose except as allowed by law.
