The third (of thirteen) OLLI presentation of this session will be this Weds., Sept. 25, and the topic will be how the national parks were really founded. American lore suggests that they were birthed around a campfire near Yellowstone by ''a wonderful and interesting group of rugged western pioneers.'' Come hear historian and author Rolf Diamant tell the real story.
