A tale of murder and mystery at the OLLI Brown Bag Series

Osher Lifelong Learning Institute, or OLLI, at Auburn University hosts a public presentation of Murder and My Rug Adventure in the Republic of Georgia with Larry Gerber from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Wednesday, Nov. 2, at the Boykin Community Center, 400 Boykin St. in Auburn. This lecture will also be broadcast live on Facebook. No registration is necessary.

Larry will recount his experience of ordering a custom-made rug from the country of Georgia in the Caucasus and then discovering before he went to Georgia to pick up the rug that the American ex-pat he was dealing with had been murdered along with his family. Hear about the surprising conclusion to his trip to the Caucasus and see the rug he brought back.

Larry Gerber is professor emeritus in history at Auburn University.
