The Lifetime Learning Institute of Northern Virginia, https://llinova.org/, a learning group for adults over 50, will hold its next virtual Forum on Wednesday, February 5, 2025, from 10:00 am to 11:00 am. The speaker will be Michael Stewart whose grandfather was a warden at the infamous Alcatraz Prison, the “island of many mistakes” in San Francisco Bay.   Having learned much from his grandfather’s stories, Stewart will share perspectives about the “Rock” – inmates, staff, families, escape attempts, and more.  The Zoom program is free and open to the public by registering on the LLI website www.llinova.org, clicking on Classes and Events, and scrolling down the calendar to February 5, 2025, https://llinova.org/courses/course-event-list/#!event/2025/2/5/february-5-zoom.  Those registered will receive a link to Zoom.  This program is part of the LLI’s monthly Forum Series held the first Wednesday of each month.  LLI also provides more than 130 classes, programs and excursions a year to its members.  More information on membership in LLI is available on LLI's website www.llinova.org.  Any questions, please e-mail LLI at [email protected].
