May 17th: The United States from the Outside Looking In
Rosane Geiselman, Suzanne Bless, MD, and Friends. Tim Geiselman, moderator
In this 250th year of the United States of America, we will speak with a few people who were born abroad but now live here. We will get their perspective on the country – what drew them to the US, what do they appreciate, what do they struggle with, what do they miss from their country of origin? We will speak about the US through the eyes of outsiders in an attempt to understand the US a bit more.
