Program Description

Description

Anita Willets Burnham was an artist, author, and visionary who boldly took her family of 6 around the world, twice, in the 1920s. They went third class, she said, "only because there wasn't a fourth." After years of encouragement from friends and her art students, she wrote a book about her adventures and launched herself into the lecture circuit to promote it. Mrs. Burnham was fortunate, later in life, to discover a man who invented a time machine. In exchange for portraits of his family, he sends her forward in time. Mrs. Burnham very much enjoys the 21st century and always regrets that she must come without her paint box. 

After her talk, Anita always welcomes questions from the audience.
