As with my earlier podcast episodes, this episode will have a more personal slant – telling my listeners about a memorable college professor. This came about since I connected again recently with my alma mater – the University of New Hampshire in Durham, NH. On my first visit to the campus in about 40 years, I was flooded with memories, especially those of professor and superb educator – Dr. Cecil J. Schneer. I was fortunate to take 3 courses from him and also was an assistant for an academic conference he hosted in 1976. He made impressive contributions to both the fields of geology and history and was a welcome colleague to many. In addition, you will also hear great stories about him from a professional colleague, Dr. Wallace Bothner, professor Emeritus at UNH, and a family perspective from nephew, Dr. Jonathan Schneer, Professor Emeritus at Georgia Tech.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
