Thank you to everyone who purchased raffle tickets.Īll proceeds from this raffle will remain with the Rose City Senior Center and will be used towards future programs. The Senior Center made approximately $150 on the sale of raffle tickets. The afghan was made by a very talented member of the Thursday afternoon Knitting and Crocheting Group. She has written stories about her family history for "Good Old Days" magazine and "Family Chronicle." The lecture is free, but reservations are required.Congratulation to Missy Sanford who recently won the beautiful crocheted lap-sized afghan that was being raffled off. Rocque has worked as a librarian, educator and project manager. She also will encourage those attending to share their own stories from the past. In her talk, Rocque plans to discuss the everyday life of her immigrant family during the 1920s in Connecticut. "Besides historical fiction fans and genealogy buffs, I think the book will most interest 60- to 90-year-old readers of Eastern European heritage, especially Polish, Lithuanian and Russian folks," she said. The author told me that she had a midwife, obstetrician and historian review her manuscript before it was published.
Rocque based the book on the story of her own uncle's birth, who weighed less than two pounds, and was saved by his family and a devoted midwife. The novella is about the attempt by a midwife and an immigrant family to save a premature baby during the Christmas season of 1922. The event is part of the Watermark at 3030 Park's monthly Book and Author series. Rocque will be doing a talk about her new book, "Until the Robin Walks on Snow," at the Watermark in Bridgeport on Thursday, Dec. The result is a remarkably personal approach to biography that often reads like an autobiography. When I talked to him last summer, Spitz said he wouldn't sit down to write a biography until he's done enough research to feel like he is in the same room as his subject. The author is working with Graham Nash on the singer's memoir and will soon begin work on a biography of President Ronald Reagan.
"Dearie" was published in August on what would have been Julia Child's 100th birthday. In 1980 he turned his attention to writing and is the author of seven books, including the best-selling biography " The Beatles." Spitz has an amazingly varied background as a writer and musician that includes managing and occasionally playing with Bruce Springsteen in the mid-1970s. The event is part of "The Inspired Writer," an author series of the University's MFA in Creative Writing Program. The talk will take place in the Barone Campus Center Oak Room and is free.
