ROCKLAND — Sean Thomas, an apprentice at Rockland's Apprenticeshop, will be a guest on WRFR Friday at 4 p.m. and at an Old School dinner symposium to follow.

This Friday, March 11, radio station WRFR, 93.3 FM, and the Old School, Rockland's experimental open university, continue a series of radio discussions followed by dinner symposia. This week's special guest is Sean Thomas, an apprentice at Rockland's Apprenticeshop. He will participate in a broadcast interview from 4 to 5 p.m. on the Rockland Metro show, and then join an Old School dinner symposium beginning at 5:30 p.m. The topic for the symposium is "design for a creative life."

Born in Maine, Sean grew up in Louisiana and later moved to California to study architecture. He has worked in New York and US Virgin Islands. He is a talented designer and maker of things and has developed a collection of knives, pens, jewelry, and lamps, among other objects. He is now turning his talents to boatbuilding with the construction of a traditional fishing peapod at the Apprenticeshop.

The Rockland Metro show on WRFR is hosted by João Bentes, Nate Davis, Joe Steinberger, and others on a rotating basis. The new show will air Fridays from 4-5 p.m., each week with a special guest or guests who will bring their unique perspectives on life in and around Rockland. Guests on the show are invited to participate as special guests in an Old School dinner symposium following the show.

Dinner symposia at the Old School are free and open to the public. Participation in each symposium is limited to twelve, so participants must reserve their place in advance. Participants must also be ready to help. The dinner is prepared and served - and the dishes washed - in collaboration with the participants, as organized by the host.
To reserve a place at the table for this Friday's dinner with Sean Thomas, interested persons are invited to contact Joe Steinberger at joe@interhuman.org
