Local Author Selected as 2014-2015 Road Scholar by the Illinois Humanities Council

I am so honored and excited. The Illinois Humanities Council has selected me to join its Road Scholars roster for 2014-15 with my presentation entitled “The Journey to Mollie’s War: WACS and World War II.”  I discuss the women who served in the WAC (Women's Army Corps) and in particular, my mother who served in Europe during WWII.
For over a decade, the IHC Road Scholars Speakers Bureau has been sending Illinois’  writers, poets, historians, anthropologists, and living history actors to present to audiences across Illinois.
