Dr. Quentin Schultze taught at Calvin with screenwriter Jean Shepherd and discovered a treasure trove of "secret" meanings and messages in the spectacularly popular Christmas movie now seen annually by over 50-million people. He will explain how the stories in the movie are actually life parables, using clips from the movie and insights from his work and friendship with Shepherd. Schultze has authored the new book, "You'll Shoot Your Eye Out! Life Lessons from the Movie A Christmas Story."

The lecture will be an hour in total, including 15 minutes for Q&A.
