A scheduled Book TALK program for May 12th at the Eisenhower Presidential Library and Museum is moving into a virtual room for the discussion. The program is free and open to the public virtually — join online or by phone.
According to the organization, the memoir titled “One Soldier’s Story: Bob Dole” will be the focus of discussion.
Before Dole became one of America’s most respected statesmen, he was an average citizen serving heroically for his country. Dole tells the moving story of his harrowing experience on and off the battlefield, and how it changed his life.
This informal discussion will be led by Humanities Kansas discussion leader Sandra Wiechert. Even if you have not read the book, feel free to join this program as if you were meeting your friends in a cozy cafe or living room with a glass of wine.
MEETING OPTIONS:
- Google Meet online: google.com/nfb-yjkm-sun
- Telephone: 617-675-4444 (PIN: 511 045 556 7306#)
