FEATURED STORIES FOR APRIL 2026
The World held its breath in 1927 as a 25-year-old American made its way across the Atlantic Ocean in a small plane on the first ever non-stop flight between New York and Paris.

The story of Mt. Rushmore is inspiring, from the formation of the idea to the choice of the faces that adorn it, to the heroic efforts that completed this wonderful monument to America. The presentation includes pictures from Jess’s 2025 trip to South Dakota.
The Jungle Book, Captains Courageous, Gunga Din, If … the novels, short stories and poetry of Rudyard Kipling capture the imagination. The life of this Anglo-Indian Nobel Prize winner is no less fascinating.
