Marilyn Reese Sheppard was found murdered in her home, sparking a chain of events that would captivate the nation. In the midst of the confusion, her husband, Sam, claimed a bushy-haired intruder was the perpetrator. But doubts quickly emerged, and suspicions mounted. The press, particularly the Cleveland Press under the direction of editor Louis Seltzer, relentlessly pursued the case, pushing for answers and questioning Sam’s involvement. Allegations of a conspiracy to protect Sam from justice added fuel to the fire, heightening public intrigue and turning the Sheppard case into a media spectacle. Join us as we explore the gripping tale of the Sheppard murder case, a true crime story that became a national obsession. Lunch will include a tongue-in-cheek nod to the case: “Sheppard Pie” and classic 1950s Jell-O salad."Jaws" - 50 Years of TerrorAre you still afraid to go back in the water? Join us as we dive into the legendary film that changed the course of cinema and continues to haunt us 50 years later. Released in the summer of 1975, Jaws became a cultural phenomenon, terrifying moviegoers with its relentless shark and leaving a lasting impact on the thriller and horror genres. But the story behind the film is just as captivating as the movie itself. Explore the making of Jaws, the iconic performances from its cast, the groundbreaking special effects, and the real-life inspiration for the terrifying shark. Discover how Jaws turned a simple beach movie into a blockbuster that would keep audiences out of the water for generations.To set the scene, lunch will feature a themed menu inspired by the film: Roast beef (a nod to the fishermen’s Christmas roast bait), mashed potatoes, hearty New England clam chowder (evoking the movie’s coastal setting), and Quint’s favorite—saltine crackers.
