Graceland

Many thanks to Peggy Jacques (Founder and Executive Director) to provide a discussion about “The Little Things Which Run our World” to the the Graceland Center for Purposeful Aging in Peoria on October 21, 2026. I have included some additional materials below for those who would like references after my presentation. Please reach out to me with any questions you may have about these materials.

• Fun facts about insects. I always like to show a few fun facts before we get started.
• I also ask participants to provide a synonym for the word insect. I’m always curious what term people would use if they could not use the word insect.
• For those who would like a handout of my presentation, I provide this version (3 slides per page to save paper).
