I’m excited to report that I will be teaching a class starting in May, called “The World of Agatha Christie”. It will be four 90-minute sessions in a program here in the US called OSHER, which is a life-long learning effort, coordinated through various universities to provide educational presentations to [ahem] older adults. I’ll be doing this in Pittsburgh, at Carnegie Mellon University.

I’ll be discussing her books, of course, along with the movie and TV versions, as well as her life and its effect on her writing. I’ll be sure and keep you posted, should anything interesting (unexpected) crop up!

If it's no bother, Pghfan. IMHO, record these events whenever possible. If en route to a goal or even if not...well, I've kept some copies of my newspaper, online, audio articles and interviews. It's fun to see where our life events take us. Even if not planned, they often go somewhere great. ;-)

I, for one, would love to see them!

As I re-read my comment, it should be "I may be able to..."

Recording the sessions would be pretty difficult, given the room and the circumstances.

That's understandable, Pghfan. :-)
