Hugh is hosting our next meeting on Wednesday, January 6th.
We're only seeing one movie this month:
Director: Steven Spielberg
Writers: Matt Charman, Ethan Coen, Joel Coen
Stars: Tom Hanks, Mark Rylance, Alan Alda
During the Cold War, an American lawyer is recruited to defend an arrested Soviet spy in court, and then help the CIA facilitate an exchange of the spy for the Soviet captured American U2 spy plane pilot, Francis Gary Powers.
We will also have a special guest speaker:
Gregory S. Lamb, a retired United States Air Force Colonel who studied Geography as an undergraduate, earned his Masters Degree in International Relations, and was awarded a fellowship in Public Policy from Harvard's Kennedy School of Government. He's a graduate of several formal professional military education institutions including the Joint Forces Staff College and the Defense Language Institute.
Greg piloted the U-2 High-Altitude Reconnaissance Aircraft for most of his operational military career and held senior staff assignments with Air Combat Command, NORAD-NORTHCOM, and the Defense Intelligence Agency.
Coupled with his life experiences, his passion for shedding light on the injustice experienced by refugees drove him to write his first novel,
The People in Between: A Cyprus Odyssey. His most recent novel,
A Dangerous Element, was the result of recent events related to STUXNET and the temporary disruption of Iran’s nuclear enrichment program.
Greg lives with his wife, Cindy, in Portland, Oregon. The Lambs have three grown sons.
