Many have attempted to discern whether change is predictable.  Some religions view history as a circle, with events repeating themselves endlessly.  In modern times, we've seen analysis of historic trends as cycles and swings from one view, to its opposite extreme, and back.  Fashion seems cyclical -- just ask the mother worried about her daughter's new outfit, one so similar to the fashion she donned in her youth.  Jone Johnson Lewis will ponder change, swinging pendulums, and cycles, questioning the role of change in human life. 

In honor of Memorial Day, we'll also remember some members of our community who have died in the last few years.
