Sad News
It is with immense sadness that I report the death, last night, of our President and dear friend, Jack Welsh. Cancer was discovered several months ago, and although the initial prognosis was good, things turned. The last couple of months have been very hard. I can’t express in words how much he will be missed. We hold Jeanette and their family in our hearts – Julie
The following is a part of a Facebook post by Jack’s close friend and student, Bruce Miller:
His wife Jeanette needs a little peace and quiet right now, but for those who love Jack and Jeanette, and I know we are legion, I know she’ll appreciate hearing from you in a week or so. No service is planned at this time. In accordance with Jack’s wishes, a performance of “Jacques Brel is Alive and Well and Living in Paris” will be presented in joyful memory of his life at Virginia Rep’s theatre at Willow Lawn in the spring. Tonight, raise a glass to a good man … or maybe smoke a pipe.

Open University Presenter Changes on Mondays
There have been a few changes to the schedule on Mondays at St. Luke:
The Lunch Speaker on Monday, October 3, at 12:30 at St. Luke Lutheran, will be Dr. David Mark Cooper, author of Mapping Your Adventure: Discovering Integrity in a Life Review. Dr. Cooper is a respected therapist and educator, who lives in Richmond. He takes the place of Randy Fitzgerald, well-known columnist and humorist, who will be unable to speak because of illness. Dr. Cooper will bring copies of his book, should his listeners wish to purchase it at the end of his talk.
Ellis West will present The Constitution’s Ban on Religious Tests for Holding Public Office on October 17 and Andrew Crislip will conclude his presentation with The Lost Gospels II on October 24. Both are at 11:00 a.m.
Shantaram Talegaonkar will present Seven Delhis: The Evolution of a City Over One Thousand Years on October 24 and Barbara Goehle will present The Amazing Victoria Falls on November 7. Both are at 9:45.

HEY! Even though classes began last week (and, oh, what a fun week it was), it’s not too late to start attending the Open University. Come and join us. The schedule is below. Hope to see you there!!
For those attending the Open University at First Presbyterian on Thursdays, the church has adjusted the times when the entry doors will be locked. They will be unlocked from 9:15-10:15 a.m. and from 1:15-1:45 p.m. If you arrive outside of those times, all you need to do is ring the “Call Bell” to be buzzed into the building. This has to do with their preschool and security. Thank you for your understanding – Julie
