Dear ILR Members,
We are happy to continue offering April & May classes both at the Tidewater Community College
Virginia Beach Campus and via Zoom. Please be aware of the following:
COVID Protocols: ILR will be following all CDC, State and TCC COVID protocols that are applicable at
the time of the classes. In addition, whether we are using the ATC or Pungo Auditorium, both are
large enough to allow plenty of social distancing and TCC will do COVID-level cleaning between
classes. Your health is our primary concern and we will provide email updates as they become
available.
Types of Class Presentations: During this time of transition, ILR plans to offer the following class
presentation options, based on the speaker’s availability. To determine how your chosen class will
be presented, check the “Location” line of the class descriptions given in this schedule. Also, on the
Registration form, the “Location” column will show either “TCC-Z” or “Zoom Only”.

simultaneously. The speaker will be at TCC. Zoom participants will be able to see the speaker’s
slides and hear the speaker. The speaker may walk away from the limited scope of the
camera, so their face may not be visible all of the time. Questions may be asked through Zoom
or in-person. The Zoom link will be sent to all who register. Each Member may decide which
method of class attendance is preferred. You do not need to notify the office in advance of
your choice, simply plan to be either at TCC or at your computer before class begins.
❖ Zoom Only: These classes will only be offered via Zoom. Registered members will be sent a
Zoom link to access the class.
Face Coverings: TCC requires face coverings inside buildings, especially in common areas where physical
distancing is difficult (hallways, restrooms, breakrooms) and in classrooms, libraries and labs.
Photography: The ILR reserves the right to take photographs or videos during the operation of any
program or part thereof and to use them, whether taken by a representative of the ILR or by
other participants, for promotional purposes. By enrolling in an ILR program, participants agree
to allow their images to be used in such photography; participants who prefer that their images
not be used are asked to identify themselves to program staff and the photographer at the
commencement of their program.

which commenced a successful Arctic deployment highlighted by surfacing his attack submarine at the North
Pole on 11 October 1981. During his eight years as one of the Navy’s experts on Arctic Warfare, the Navy’s

among others.

an Ensign, he completed training in the Naval Nuclear Propulsion Program and Naval Submarine Program.
Following many overseas deployments, he returned to Norfolk in 1989 as Commander Oceanographic System

Course Title: The Port of Virginia and the Supply Chain
Date and Time: Wednesday, April 6, 10:00 - 12:00
Location: TCC and Zoom
Course Description: Because of the slow-down in the global supply chain, we all think we know what the

will present a general overview of the supply chain with a specific focus on the Port of Virginia.

Course Title: Lord Charles Cornwallis
Date and Time: Thursday, April 7, 1:00 p.m. - 3:00 p.m.
Location: TCC and Zoom
Course Description: Most Americans know Lord Charles Cornwallis, if they know him at all, as the British
General who was defeated at Yorktown in 1781 and surrendered to General George Washington and his
Continental Army. One of Great Britain’s most outstanding British Army officers and colonial administrators,
Charles was born into a wealthy and aristocratic English family and groomed from the outset for leadership.
Who was Lord Cornwallis? Why do Americans know so little about him? Was he the failure that Americans
are taught to believe? Learn the answers to these and other questions.
Speaker: Randy Flood is a historian and co-founder of The Real American Revolution, a nonprofit
organization established to educate citizens about the American Revolution. Randy began his career serving
on the staff of the United States Senate and has taught courses about politics and the legislative processes at
numerous colleges and universities in the Washington area. Currently, he resides in Williamsburg where he is
working with the Washington Rochambeau Revolutionary Route Association to educate teachers, students

3Course Title: The Psychology of Money
Date and Time: Tuesday, April 12, 1:00 p.m. - 3:00 p.m.
Location: TCC and Zoom
Course Description: Doing well with money is not necessarily about what you know. It is about how you
behave, and behavior can be hard to teach. Money matters (investing, personal finance, and business
decisions) are typically taught as a math-based field, where data and formulas tell us exactly what to do. In the
real-world, people do not make financial decisions on a spreadsheet. They make them at the dinner table, or in
a meeting room, where personal history, your own unique view of the world, ego, pride, marketing, and odd
incentives are scrambled together.
Speaker: Justin Chastain is a Financial Wellness Manager and Vice President at Southern Bank. He has
been teaching financial wellness classes in the area for many years.
Course Title: The Siege of Petersburg
Date and Time: Thursday, April 14, 10:00 - 12:00

Date and Time: Tuesday, April 19, 10:00 - 12:00
Location: TCC and Zoom
Course Description: Since pictures were drawn on cave walls, art has been used to communicate. What
have been the messages? Who are the readers? When is a pretty picture more than a pretty picture? Bring
your eyes ready to listen when Maureen Harms brings us message-sending art from the Chrysler.
Speaker: Maureen Harms is a master docent at the Chrysler Museum of Art. Her interest in art began when
she and her husband lived in Europe where they explored one museum after another. She continued to deepen
her knowledge of art and art history through university coursework and by joining the docent program at the
Chrysler Museum of Art.

and involved with everything during the 19th century.
Speaker: Dr. David Neff has degrees from Jacksonville University, Old Dominion University, and a
Doctorate from George Mason University. He has been a full-time history professor at TCC for twenty-six

twenty-two years of programming at Historic Jamestowne and Colonial Williamsburg and is an in-demand
tour guide of Historic Jamestowne.
Course Title: Jazz – Past, Present and Future
Date and Time: Thursday, April 28, 10:00 - 12:00
Location: TCC and Zoom
Course Description: The term “jazz” has been used to describe many distinctive styles of music over the
past one hundred plus years. Historians note that jazz is a truly American art form, perhaps America’s most
significant contribution to the world of art! Let’s take a look at how this phenomenon got started, how it has
developed, the various styles and musicians that have steered this development, and where it might be headed.

Course Title: Cities of South and East Asia
Date and Time: Monday, May 2, 10:00 – 12:00
Location: TCC and Zoom
Course Description: Cities of South Asia are among the largest in the world. We will examine them using
cultural landscape analysis, with an emphasis on the cities of India, particularly Mumbai and Delhi, as we
look for clues to the economic, cultural, political, and environmental values of the people who shape urbanism
on the sub-continent. For East Asia, we will focus on the cities of one country: Taiwan. We will focus on one
aspect of the cultural landscape: the urban sidewalk, its form and function, its relationship to the stores and
streets that border it, and its ability to handle often problematic flows of people and their conveyances.
Speaker: Dr. Don Zeigler is a retired professor of Geography. He has traveled widely and has been a
Fulbright scholar in Morocco. He served as president of the National Council for Geographic Education in
1977, and president of the International Honor Society in Geography. He has received numerous awards. His
Ph.D. is from Michigan State.
Course Title: Baron Steuben
Date and Time: Thursday, May 5, 1:00 p.m. - 3:00 p.m.
Location: TCC and Zoom
Course Description: Baron Friedrich Wilhelm de Steuben, known as the “Drill Master of Valley Forge,” is
remembered as having trained General George Washington’s Continental Army during the Revolutionary
War. Born in Prussia—what we call Germany today—Steuben was one of the very elite Prussian officers
selected by Frederick the Great to train and build his Prussian Army. One of many international officers from
5multiple countries who were recruited by Silas Deane, Benjamin Franklin and Pierre Augustin Caron de
Beaumarchais to help the American cause, Steuben soon became an integral part of General Washington’s
command structure—continuing to train American troops and involving himself in logistics and supply
operations. Who was Baron Steuben? Why do most Americans inaccurately refer to him as “Von” Steuben?
Learn the answer to these and other questions.
Speaker: Randy Flood is a historian and co-founder of The Real American Revolution, a nonprofit
organization established to educate citizens about the American Revolution. Randy began his career serving
on the staff of the United States Senate and has taught courses about politics and the legislative processes at
numerous colleges and universities in the Washington area. Currently, he resides in Williamsburg where he is
working with the Washington Rochambeau Revolutionary Route Association to educate teachers, students

traveled to entrap Lord Cornwallis and his British army at Yorktown.
Course Title: Secret Installations & Activities in the Old Dominion & Its Neighbors
Date and Time: Monday, May 9, 10:00 – 12:00
Location: TCC and Zoom
Course Description: There is always tension, especially in government, of the public’s right to know and
government’s responsibility to keep the country safe. There are rigid structures (security, clearances or
compounds) built to protect those secrets and others more fluid (ITAR, EAR, OPSEC). No CLASSIFIED
content will be presented. This lecture will focus on examples of facilities relatively “nearby” that have been
considered secret in the recent past. For example, in nearby White Sulfur Springs, West Virginia, the
fashionable resort Greenbrier’s vast underground bunkers for Continuity of Government (COG) were only
recently exposed.
Speaker: Dr. Robert Baxter is a native of Tidewater Virginia and currently a volunteer Contact Ranger &
Historical Interpreter with False Cape and First Landing State Parks, and the Virginia Association of Parks.

their societies.
Speaker: Kate Cross has degrees in European History and Journalism, a master’s degree in European
History, and is currently a candidate for Ph.D. in International Studies at Old Dominion University. She is a
favorite with ILR audiences.
Course Title: The Value of Philosophy for Everyday Life
Date and Time: Tuesday, May 17, 1:00 p.m. - 3:00 p.m.
Location: TCC and Zoom CANCELLED
Course Description: For the ancient Greeks, philosophy was not merely a theoretical exercise. The true
philosopher or “lover of wisdom” was committed to living a contemplative and self-disciplined life in the
pursuit of truth. The dedicated practice of philosophy promised not only a deeper understanding of oneself
and the world, but the ability to meet life’s challenges with serenity and courage. But over the centuries,
philosophy retreated into the university, where it became a purely academic study having little to do with the
concerns and problems of people’s actual lives. The 20th-century British philosopher Bertrand Russell noted
this shift. Writing in the shadow of the Second World War and the looming threat of nuclear holocaust,
Russell spoke of the urgent need to recover the practice of philosophy in everyday life. It is wisdom that we
need more than ever, he wrote, “if the new powers invented by technicians are handed over by them to be
wielded by ordinary men and women, are not to plunge mankind into an appalling cataclysm.”
Speaker: Dr. Steven Emmanuel is the Dean of the Susan S. Goode School of Arts and Humanities at
Virginia Wesleyan University. He received his Ph.D. from Brown University and his Bachelor of Arts from
Boston University. He was a Fulbright Fellow at the University of Copenhagen from 1985-1986.
Course Title: The Mission of a Lifetime: Lessons from the Men Who Went to the Moon
Date and Time: Thursday, May 19, 10:00 - 12:00
Location: TCC and Zoom
Course Description: In rare in-depth interviews for his book, the twelve remaining lunar explorers, for the
first time, talk at length about the real right stuff: the true source of courage, leadership, and the quiet
patriotism that it took to risk their lives going to the moon. Basil Hero describes key life lessons that readers
can gain from these honorable men whom he calls the Eagles. He describes how they mastered their emotions
and learned to conquer their fears through techniques that can be used from the classroom to the boardroom.
Speaker: Basil Hero is an award-winning former investigative reporter with NBC News television stations.
After leaving journalism, he founded Broadway Digital Entertainment, which digitally restored what the New
York Times referred to as “television’s crown jewels” – priceless masterpieces such as The Iceman Cometh
with Jason Robards and Robert Redford. After selling his company he devoted himself to helping non-profits
better market themselves in their fundraising efforts. He has been a featured lecturer at NASA’s Jet
Propulsion Lab, Chambers of Commerce, and universities around the country. He is now a full-time author
residing in Chapel Hill, North Carolina.
7Course Title: Overcoming Amnesia: Uncovering the Forgotten History of Two Families
Linked by Slavery
Date and Time: Monday, May 23, 1:00 p.m. - 3:00 p.m.
Location: TCC and Zoom
Course Description: At this time of racial reckoning in America, a descendant of Virginia slave owners
makes the case that before we can achieve racial reconciliation, we must confront the truth about our fraught
racial history. That means not papering over the past to avoid making white people uncomfortable, but just the
opposite: laying bare our true history to enable uncomfortable conversations about slavery, America’s original
sin, and its enduring legacy. This is the story of an odyssey of discovery about Bill’s slave-owning family,
their slaves, and those slaves’ descendants.
Speaker: Bill Sizemore is retired after a 43-year career in journalism, most of that time at the Virginian-
Pilot, where he was a Pulitzer Prize finalist in 2007. He wrote about topics as varied as state government and
politics, televangelist Pat Robertson, the private military company Blackwater, and Virginia’s prison-building
boom. He is the author of Uncle George and Me: Two Southern Families Confront a Shared Legacy of
Slavery
Course Title: The Coming Naval Age in a Period of Strategic Competition
Date and Time: Thursday, May 26, 10:00 - 12:00
Location: TCC and Zoom
Course Description: Strategic competition from China and Russia has emerged as one of the central
challenges to the U. S. The 2018 National Defense Strategy states, “We are in a heated competition with
adversaries who do not share our values, do not respect national sovereignty, and are actively working to
undermine the international rule of law that we have safeguarded since 1944. Just as American weakness
invites challenge, American strength and confidence deters war and promotes peace.” It is the U.S. Navy that
needs to provide the credible combat power to dissuade our adversaries from undermining the basic order that
has enabled relative world prosperity.
Speaker: Captain Dan Packer is the Director for Plans and Policy for Commander, Submarine Forces and
Joint Force Maritime Component Command for Strategic Command, and Chief of Staff for NATO’s Allied
Submarine Command. In this role, he is the chief strategist for the U.S. Submarine Force, developing strategic
plans for both conventional undersea forces and the nation’s maritime strategic nuclear forces. He is a
graduate of the U.S. Naval Academy and the United States Naval Postgraduate School. He served as the
Dean of Math and Science at the Naval Academy and has commanded the USS SEAWOLF (SSN 21), a fast
attack submarine.

months. Siteseers is made up of members who enjoy independent travel near and far and like to share their
experiences and helpful tips with others. It’s free and fun! If you'd like to join this group, please contact
Ed and Linda Dye for more information or to be added to the participation list. Include 'ILR Siteseers' in
