Perhaps you'll travel with a Dog Named Boo or with Puff the Magic Dragon alone or Side By Side. We will travel Around The World or down Country Roads to Bali Hai, on the Wabash Cannonball, or aboard the Chattanooga Choo Choo.

In 1984, James Deegan arrived on the Eckerd College campus to become the Vice President and Dean of Special Programs. Always an advocate of lifelong learning, Jim was essential in establishing Eckerd College's Senior College and nurturing the program as it became the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute at Eckerd College. It was Jim's direction and support that led us from early autumn term handouts listing twenty courses to the current OLLI at Eckerd College catalogs printed last year for a record 1200 program members.

Join us for an afternoon of music, refreshments and conviviality with Joy Katzen-Guthrie as we welcome Jim Deegan into the world of retirement. Rather than a farewell, let's think of this program as a painless initiation into the world of active retirement.

You may be surprised how many songs feature metaphorical images of games, movement, and winning, such as love as a game, life as a dance, and hearts being won.
