Robert F. Lyons
Bob's father, William and mother Mary - she was a successful farmer's daughter - settled in South Dakota. The one-room schoolhouse he attended was on his father's farm. As he says, "The seeds of lifelong learning were well-rooted first in my home by my parents. We always had plenty of reading material with lively discussion at the table, and we had music too.".>>More from Osher Lifelong Learning Institute Newsletter
