A pleasure to participate this summer as one of the faculty scholars at the NEH Landmarks program for teachers in Concord, MA, on "Living and Writing Deliberately: The Concord Landscapes and Legacy of Henry David Thoreau"
Hooray for good weather and an enthusiastic crowd in May (during the ALA conference) for our walking tour of reformist Boston, jointly sponsored by the Louisa May Alcott and Lydia Maria Child Societies.
Enjoyed speaking with Dr. Rochelle Johnson and Maine filmmaker Huey at a showing last fall of Thoreau: Surveyor of the Soul, a film by Huey, at Dietrich Theatre in beautiful Tunkhannock, PA.
Kicking off summer break to talk about the 150th anniversary of Little Women with Louisa May Alcott Society friends, we are given a wonderful welcome at Walnut Creek Public Library (near San Francisco) in May!
Some great press for the hard work of
PSU Altoona alumna Olivia Wertz !
