Coastal Friends will host Richard Eason, retired U.S. Foreign Service officer and well-known lecturer at UNF’s OLLI program on history and archaeology, as their guest speaker at the May 7 luncheon.
Eason’s popular adult education courses cover ancient discoveries such as the tomb of King Tut, Troy, Machu Picchu and others. He explains in understandable ways how the development of the use of science and technology can identify and date these treasures.
The luncheon runs from 11 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. and will be held at Marsh Landing Country Club, 25655 Marsh Landing Parkway, Ponte Vedra Beach, and is open to members and guests, as well as the community. The menu will consist of caesar salad, chicken with lemon beurre blanc, rice pilaf and mixed vegetables, and chef’s choice for dessert.
The cost to attend is $25. Reservations must be made in advance by contacting the luncheon chairman at bartshar@comcast.net as soon as possible. The deadline for checks to be received is Friday morning, May 2.
