SUMMARY:Joan of Arc
DESCRIPTION:How did an illiterate seventeen-year-old peasant farmgirl take 
 command of a defeated and demoralized army and lead it to an astounding 
 series of great battlefield victories!? Guest speaker Steve Richey answers 
 precisely this question about Joan of Arc\, a great and highly unusual 
 one-of-a-kind military leader. Steve is the author of the book Joan of Arc: 
 The Warrior Saint. He also appeared in the TV documentary “Saint Joan of 
 Arc: Maid for God.” In the course of his presentation\, he will explain 
 in detail the remarkable traits of character and unique circumstances that 
 enabled Joan to achieve what seemed to be impossible: emerging from utter 
 obscurity to lead her country’s army in turning the tide of a great war 
 and—eventually—freeing her homeland from foreign domination. The 
 presentation will consist of two parts: first\, a lecture in which Steve 
 will make his teaching points\, and second\, a photographic slide 
 show/travelogue following Joan’s path back and forth across France. Every 
 member of the audience will receive a copy of the lecture notes.\n\nStephen 
 W. Richey was born and raised in Rochester\, New York. He enlisted in the 
 U.S. Army as a tank crewman in 1977. He graduated from the U.S. Military 
 Academy at West Point in 1984 as an officer of tank troops. He served out 
 his military career in numerous places and in numerous capacities around 
 the U.S. and the world. Highlights of his career include earning his 
 parachutist’s wings at Fort Benning\, Georgia\, two tours of duty in 
 Germany\, humanitarian de-mining operations in Ethiopia\, and four tours of 
 duty in wartime Iraq. He earned a master’s degree in history from Central 
 Washington University in 2002. Now retired from the military\, he makes his 
 home in Rochester\, New York.\n\nregistration required
