 st ethnically diverse countries on the continent. Kathleen Stafford has ha
 d the opportunity to travel and live in various places as the wife of a Un
 ited States diplomat. In 1979\, during the Iranian revolution she and her 
 husband\, Ambassador Joseph Stafford\, were able to escape from the Americ
 an Embassy with four other Americans. The dramatic story of them being she
 ltered by the Canadians and their subsequent escape from Iran is told in t
 he film Argo which opens on October 12\, 2012. This exhibition is free and
