OLLI Storytelling Class Hosts Story Squad Tellers

ncstate_banner_image2The Osher Lifelong Learning Institute (OLLI) at the McKimmon Center for Extension and Lifelong Learning at NC State University brought in storytellers Sarah Beth Nelson and Brian Sturm to share personal narrative and folk stories with their adult learners.  Sarah Beth told a personal story about being the Matron of Honor at her sister’s wedding, and Brian shared the Vietnamese folktale called The Love Crystal about a noblewoman who falls in love with a fisherman and his music (believing him to be a prince in disguise) and realizes, too late, that she actually did love him, too.  Other storytellers there were Cynthia Raxter, from Bynum, and Alan Hoal, from Cary.
