Westminster Abbey is an architectural masterpiece of the 13th to 16th centuries steeped in more than a thousand years of history.  In addition to its stunning architecture, the Abbey is a treasure house of paintings, stained glass, monuments, textiles, and other artifacts.  John R. Hall, Dean of Westminster, will explore the Abbey's fascinating history and design, and also focus on the important Royal events that have taken place there.  Dr. Hall will explain how Westminster Abbey has been the setting for every coronation since 1066 and the site of 16 royal weddings.  The Abbey is also the final resting place of 17 monarchs as well as notable statesmen and philanthropists; soldiers and explorers; scientists including Isaac Newtown and Charles Darwin; musicians including Handel; actors including Laurence Olivier - and many more.  The Very Reverened John R. Hall is responsible to Her Majesty for the mission and ministry, the maintenance and the daily life of Westminster Abbey.

The Philadelphia Phillies, one of the oldest teams in Major League Baseball, have maintained a loyal fan base for over 125 years.  Despite historic setbacks, the franchise has proven resilient and evolved into a perennial contender with consistently large attendance figures.  In fact, the Phillies claim 37 Hall of Famers, two World Series championships, seven National League pennants, and nine division titles.  In his book, The Philadelphia Phillies, Seamus Kearney chronicles the greatness of Grover Cleveland Alexander, the remarkable career of Richie Ashburn, the perfection of Jim Bunning, and the teams of success and luster as well as those shining stars of the less successful eras.  Seamus Kearney is a member of the Connie Mack Chapter of the Society for American Baseball Research (SABR).
