William Morris, President of the Academy of Oriental Medicine spoke to the club. Carolyn Beynon was so kind to be his subject. Will demonstrated channeling and tui na with Carolyn. A pain in the neck can be relieved by manipulation of the area and proper pressure in another part of the body such as a leg. She seemed to enjoy it. When Oriental laborers came to this country to build railroads they also brought their medicine with them. At the turn of the century there were many approaches to medicine. When Mr. Flexner was charged with inspecting medical schools for public funding he only accredited schools with pharmacy programs. In the 1990’s the Federal government became aware of the public spending money on supplements and the growing interesting in alternative treatments. Will explained there are now state and federal accreditations. His school is working with Seton Hospital to create a model where traditional and oriental medicine co exist in the same facility. Thank you Phyllis Sharp for inviting an interesting speaker.

Pastel artist Frank Reaugh was the great chronicler of longhorns and the frontier in the Plains of Texas. He made his own pastels and designed his own lap easel. Each summer he took his students on a month long camp out and sketch trip to the remote Southwest. He drew rough sketches that were refined and enlarged when he returned to his Dallas studio. Austenite Lucretia Coke (91 years old) is his last surveying student. There are notable collections at the Ramsey Center and the Dallas library which he helped start. One of his works hangs in the oval office and one in the Lt. Governor Press Conference Room. Kyle encouraged us to attend the exhibit at the Capitol Visitor Center. Thank you Phyllis Sharp for inviting a very interesting speaker.
