On 6/20/03 Andreas Rothe, former Director of Conservation, Getty Museum

OUR SPEAKER THIS FRIDAY 6/13/03 WILL BE  Comedian Bobby Kelton.
     Host Bobby Kelton has appeared on "The Tonight Show" no less than 21 times, and he's also been spotted on "The Montel Williams Show," A & E's "Evening at the Improv" and "Comic Strip Live," and was profiled on CBS' 48Hours."
     His classic observational style of comedy has audiences of all ages laughing at the things that happen everyday - even the ones that might not seem funny at first glance. He's opened for such diverse acts as Aretha Franklin,
Loretta Lynn, Tom Jones, and Gladys Knight, and is equally at home - and equally funny - in small comedy clubs or on a big Las Vegas stage.
