Our guest speaker will be Richard Lederer, an American linguist, author, speaker, and teacher. He is best known for his books on the English language and on wordplay such as puns, oxymorons, and anagrams.

After Richard’s presentation we will read and critique.

Richard also writes a column twice monthly for the Union Tribune. He has been a guest speaker in past meetings. He attended Harvard University, University of New Hampshire, Harvard Law School, and Haverford College. This presentation is very special.
