AMERICAN HISTORY: ABRAHAM LINCOLN
MATURE LEARNING AT WATERFORD
FEBRUARY 4, 11, 18 & 25 7-9pm
Few figures generate the public interest that swirls around Abraham Lincoln. In these lectures we will explore the political, spiritual, economic, and international significance of his life historically; and we will consider why so many people find his life profoundly meaningful today.
Many Waterford residents know – and attend - the high quality educational and cultural programs for persons age 55 and over through Mature Learning at Clark College. Now Waterford residents have the opportunity to attend a Mature Learning class right in the comfort of our own facility!

Elliott has been lecturing on Lincoln for the last 10 years and is a Commissioner on the Oregon Lincoln Bicentennial Commission.
