Kurt F. Stone, D.D., is now in his 24th year with Lifelong Learning. His passion for film is, he says, "genetic," having been born in Hollywood, CA, and raised both in and around the movie industry. Stone is a multi-disciplinary sort of man who has also written two well-received books on Congress, published nearly 900 essays, is an ordained rabbi, and earns his living as a medical ethicist.

Valerie Sutter, a former language teacher, gained her passion for French culture during her 30+ years of living overseas, and shares this passion through the French language workshops she organizes in France every summer. She owns an apartment in Paris and spends six months of the year in France when she’s not otherwise occupied in Miami. She loves sharing her Parisian life with others and welcomes you to join her on a walk-through of Paris.
