Don and I revamped the "Lost Lingo" talk we gave at the International Agatha Christie festival last fall, and we'll be giving it at the Club 120 community center on Thursday, July 24, starting at 6:00p.

We took the best of the odd words and phrases from last year's presentation and added dramatic readings of where the words appear in Christie's novels. We realized that not everyone has read every Christie mystery, so this helps people see how the words were used and what readers are missing if they just skip over them. 

Don will be doing most of the readings since he has the theatrical background, and I'll be talking about what the words mean and who helped me figure it out. Some of those references were pretty obscure, one hunded years later! I am indebted to a variety of experts with very narrow specialities. 

We hope that you will join us, if you are in the neighborhood of Elgin, Illinois. The presentation will be in the lower level of the Atrium at Oak Crest, hosted by the Club 120 community center. Oak Crest is at 204 South State Street. There will be refreshments and a good will donation for Club 120's programs is appreciated. Seating is limited, however, so please register to let them know you are coming. Get all the details at their website: club120elgin.org. 

Hope to see you there!
