Burbeen Lecture: "Mexico: Silver Cities and Golden Beaches"

Note: this information comes from a press release by William C. Campbell. 

The Burbeen Free Lecture continues its season of lectures with a film and lecture entitled “Colorful Mexico!” presented by Fran Reidelbeger.

Mexico, our southern neighbor, has so much to offer that one could easily spend a lifetime traveling there and still not see it all. In this new production, film producers Fran and Brooke Reidelberger focus their research and cameras on some very popular destinations, as well as a few little known spots, with an emphasis on color and fun.

Features include riding the famous Copper Canyon train from Chihuahua to Los Mochis, visiting with the Tarahumara Indians, touring Taxco and other towns built by silver mining, relaxing and enjoying Mexico's west coast beaches from Puerto Vallarta to Acapulco, and petting 40-ton gray whales in the warm waters of the Baja Peninsula.

Since 1977, Fran and Brooke Reidelberger have produced 18 films and given more than 4,000 lecture presentations throughout the United States and Canada. Fran has served as president of the International Motion Pictures and Lecturers Association. He is a member of the Hall of Fame of the International Travel and Adventure Film Lecturers Association. The Reidelbergers have won numerous awards in the travel journalism/film excellence competition sponsored by the Society of American Travel Writers.      

The program will be held in the Joyce Middle School auditorium at 55 Locust Street in Woburn. The doors open at 6:30 p.m. and the program begins at 7:00 p.m. No tickets or reservations are required and admission is free. The Burbeen Free Lecture Series was established by Leonard Thompson in 1892 to present an annual course of lectures on interesting topics of the day for the benefit of the community.
