Stevie Mack and Kitty Williams
The CRIZMAC Adventure Travel seminars are organized and led by Stevie Mack and Kitty Williams. The owner of CRIZMAC Art and Cultural Education Materials, Inc., Stevie Mack has led exceptional trips to both domestic and international destinations for over fifteen years, with Kitty Williams joining in 2002. Kitty, who has a background in travel and education, serves as CRIZMAC’s Publications Director and Seminar Coordinator. This dynamic duo offers participants a blend of their many talents, while always including a good dose of fun. Highly organized and committed to your satisfaction, CRIZMAC attends to all of the details that make for a very educational and enjoyable experience. In addition to providing some of the lectures, the seminar leaders have selected outstanding artists and historians to enrich your travel seminar. Both have master’s degrees, Stevie in Art Education and Kitty in International and Experiential Education. CRIZMAC invites you to join Stevie and Kitty for a trip that holds promise for artistic joy, personal rejuvenation, and cultural relevance.

“Thank you, Stevie and Kitty, for all your efforts. You both made us feel like we were friends of yours and your hospitality was so warm and genuine. No wonder CRIZMAC is so successful!”
—Sheila Weiss • Alexandria, VA

“I felt that Stevie and Kitty truly invested themselves in making sure everyone had an exciting art and cultural-filled, and comfortable experience—down to the smallest (but none the less important) detail.”
—Mary McGeehan • Pleasant Ridge, MI

William A. Fry, Ph.D.
Bill Fry taught literature and writing at a Maryland college for more than thirty years, where he served as Chair of the Literature Department and developed a series of literary travel-study tours, both domestic and international. Dr. Fry was named Outstanding Professor for the State of Maryland in 1987 and received Professor
of the Year award in 1990. Since retiring to Tucson in 2001, Dr. Fry has developed and taught a wide variety of literature courses for the Learning Curve, a provider of non-credit courses in the arts and humanities. Most recently, Dr. Fry served as co-leader of CRIZMAC’s Magnet of New Mexico tour, which focused on Mabel
Dodge Luhan and the many writers and artists she hosted in her Taos home.

“It was so wonderful to be a part of the tour. I realize now, although I always knew, that art and literature are really the essence of my life. I can’t thank Bill Fry enough—he was just wonderful!”
— Amy Breeler • Tucson, AZ

“What a wonderful week of learning! And a lot of it was due to Bill Fry. I appreciate not only his insightful lectures and the way he combines the literature with the place and the author, but also the warmth of his personality that reaches out and binds us all together.”
— Molly Webster • Tucson, AZ

“Bravo! The seminar met and exceeded my expectations in all aspects. Kitty, Stevie, and Bill, all vibrant personalities and their presentations (lectures) showed hours of preparation, research and study. They left nothing to chance.”
— Mary Torrey Dooms • Tucson, AZ

“The trio, Bill, Stevie, and Kitty, were the most important ingredient in making this trip so special. They set the standard (organization, knowledge, etc.) but most importantly, they were so friendly, caring and lots of fun. There was always laughter and lots of smiles for the group.”
— Anne Kreutzmann • Tucson, AZ
