Class Conversation - Thursday, April 24th - misfired.

On Thursday, April 24 we tried to hold our fifth Class Conversation .  Connie Rudnick Grayson was to have interviewed Paula Butturini about her career as a foreign correspondent. 

PLEASE STAY POSTED FOR A MAKE-UP DATE

In contributions to our 50th Book (Geographic Amnesia, p. 16, and her bio, p. 51), Paula Butturini gave us a taste of a challenging life. Reporting for UPI and the Chicago Tribune, Paula covered Europe during tumultuous times bracketed by Britain's 1982 Falklands war with Argentina and the 1989 collapse of Communism in the old East Bloc. An interim three years in Rome led to papal trips across five continents with John Paul II. Later, as the Tribune's East European correspondent in Warsaw, she covered events leading to the fall of the Berlin Wall, the disintegration of Moscow's satellite states, and the execution of Romania's Nicolae Ceausescu. Join her as she shares the highs and lows of a foreign correspondent's career.
