False words are not only evil in themselves, but they infect the soul with evil.

1778: Captain James Cook discovers the “Sandwich Islands,” which are later renamed the Hawaiian Islands.

Bill Reports SA Dave will not be with us today, because he has to go to Banker's school, which he does once a month for three successive months every decade or so. So no fines today, he sends word next week the honeymoon is over.

Our speaker today, Ambassadorial Scholar Natasha Llorens. She will attend college in either Amsterdam or Stockholm; she has lived abroad in both Europe and North Africa (Morocco).

She has a BA Simon Rock College in Aesthetic Philosophy and her goal on return from this year abroad is to earn a PHD in Art History from MIT. She is not an Artist, but obviously is intensely interested in Art and Artists. Natasha has two long term goals (20 years): to start an Artists in Residence and provide Artists the opportunity to travel and study at various places around the world.

That's All Folks
