Tuesdays with Morrie, An Old Man, a Young Man, and the Last Great Lesson, by Mitch Albom This true story about the love between a spiritual mentor and his pupil has soared to the bestseller list for many reasons. An accidental viewing of an interview with Morrie Schwartz on Nightline leads the author to become reunited with his old teacher, friend, and "coach" at a time when Albom is struggling to define dissatisfactions with his own life and career. We meet Morrie Schwartz, a one of a kind professor, who takes us on a journey of reawakening to life's best rewards. Even on his deathbed, this twinkling-eyed mensch manages to teach us all about living robustly and fully. Discussion will take place at 5:00 pm on Sunday, May 2 at the home of Rachel DuPre '93. Rachel lives at 120 Mallorca Way (between Chestnut and Alhambra Sts.) in San Francisco. Please RSVP to Rachel at (415) 674-8477 and volunteer to bring a snack to help feed our discussion.

Theater Night	5/20	7:30pm	SF	Diane deCordova
Shear Madness The PCNC has arranged for a group of 15 to see "Shear Madness", America's longest running play, on Thursday, May 20, 1999. More than 4.6 million people around the world have seen this hilarious whodunit. The show has been delighting groups since it opened in Boston 17 years ago. Eight times a week someone murders Isabel Czerny in an apartment above the Shear Madness Salon. Groups lucky enough to be at the scene of the crime not only watch the action, but become a part of it. The "Shear Madness" humor is current and spontaneous and the play is different with each performance. Tickets are $24. Advance booking is required, so please send your check to Diane deCordova '83, 1945 Broadway, #405, San Francisco, CA 94109 BEFORE May 10th. The show starts at 8 p.m., but we will meet at 7:30 p.m. Location: Mason Street Theatre, 340 Mason Street (between Geary & O'Farrell), San Francisco.
