Bend—Although the OLLI Book Group is currently on summer hiatus, plans are underway for fall and winter terms. The first selection is Passage of Power—the Years of Lyndon Johnson by Robert A. Caro. Member Tom O’Brien will facilitate the discussions at the September 4 and 18 sessions. This acclaimed biography, the fourth volume of Caro’s masterful study of LBJ, is a substantial 712 pages in length, so start your reading now!
