History: Our Government in Hiding


Enrichment Adult / Home -
AE 2425 Winter Spring

What happens if a catastrophe or nuclear attack killed our president and government leaders? Who would be in charge? Where would they be located? How would the country function? We’ll be talking about the history of plans for such an event, beginning way back in 1776, through WWII and today. You’ll learn about the bunkers, the plans for succession (not always what you think), the practice drills currently held each year, who will be saved and who is expendable if the unthinkable happens.

Kathy Simmer taught in the St. Paul Public Schools and was very interested in historical research. Upon retirement she began teaching classes on American history topics in several suburbs and for various organizations. She likes to include the details that are often left out of the history books. 

Kathy's portion of the class fee is donated to the Alzheimer's Association or the Fisher Center for Alzheimer's Research.  Thank you.
