The 2017 Annual Meeting and Luncheon was a wonderful event attended by over 80 FOL members and guests.  This year’s first was the performance by the Craig Updegrove Jazz Trio before the Luncheon presentation.  The Trio provided background music before the attention of the group was directed to their performance.  

 

After the meal, the attendees listened to our guest speaker, Jeff Wheelwright, who reflected upon his experience and memories from his writings.

Jeff Wheelwright

– author of: Degrees of Disaster,  The Irritable Heart and The Wandering Gene and the Indian Princess

Jeff Wheelwright graduated from Yale College in 1969, with Honors in English, and from the Columbia Graduate School of Journalism in 1971. The first half of his career was spent in New York City, where he worked as a public television producer (1971-75); as a freelance television writer (1975-78); and as the science and medicine editor for the monthly Life magazine (1978-89).

Since 1989 Wheelwright has been a freelance writer and author. His articles have appeared in Smithsonian, Discover, and The Atlantic and other print and online magazines. He has produced three well-received books.

His most recent book, The Wandering Gene and the Indian Princess, which was supported by the award of a Guggenheim Fellowship in 2009, is about a Jewish breast-cancer mutation affecting people of Spanish Catholic ancestry in New Mexico and Colorado.
