Her life became an exploration in freedom. She and her husband sold their home, boughtan Airstream trailer, and began traveling through the US and Canada. This freedom from place, freedom ofmovement, expanded into a new sense of self and an appreciation for her unique connection to artisticflow. She found she had a talent for combining color, texture, and pattern. When she discovered the medium ofwet-felting, it was an “ah-ha” moment that became the focus of her passion and devotion.

Summer 2021 Center for Lifelong Learning 21-------------------------MISCELLANEOUS--------------------------8012 Having Fun with Canasta Canasta originated in 1939 in South America. It spread rapidly to the United States and Europe and in the 1950’s threatened Contract Bridge as the pre- eminent card game. It is a very enjoyable game with numerous variations both in the US and Europe. Locally, here in Crossville, it is usually played as Hand and Foot …. which is only slightly related the game we will be playing. We will be teaching the variation of the game that Carol and I learned fromour brother-in-law, Malcolm, in England, and have played for many years. We think it is a fun but challenginggame that causes much less stress and dissent than Bridge.If you are hoping to learn the rules and strategies of the game with a view to entering tournaments, you are inthe wrong class. We expect to make new friends and have some laughs while teaching a straightforward cardgame with some subtle strategies.We will learn the basics of this two-deck game in the first session and then play practice games during theremaining sessions, stopping frequently to discuss the reasons for the different tactics employed by yoursometimes devious opponents.John & Carol Conrad were raised in England and have always enjoyed playing card games. They played familycard games growing up and have played contract and duplicate bridge for many years. After moving to theUnited States in 1984, they looked forward to return trips to the UK where they had intense games of Canastawith Carol’s sister and her husband. They have never been professional teachers or instructors but enjoy thegame and enjoy sharing their talents and experiences. They have found Canasta to be more sociable andrelaxing than playing bridge though still providing a reasonable level of competition.Four sessions: Tuesday & Wednesday, August 3 & 4; 10:00-11:30 a.m. The Depot, 169 N Main St, Crossville Tuesday & Wednesday, August 10 & 11; 10:00-11:30 a.m. Class Size—Min: 4 Max: 16 “Wisdom is not a product of schooling but of the lifelong attempt to acquire it.” ~Albert Einstein Questions?
