   Our special guest is Barb Kay, a happily retired high school history teacher who has spent nearly 30 years portraying famous women from history. Born and raised in St. Louis and now living in Columbia, Illinois, Barb brings warmth, humor, and deep knowledge to her portrayals. She likes to say she’s still teaching history—just without having to grade papers.
   This is not a lecture, but a relaxed “afternoon chat” in a small-group setting, with time to listen, learn, and enjoy the company. Light refreshments will be served.
