Wauwatosa Senior Center talk

UW-Milwaukee Osher program talk

Johnson County Museum photos
These photos were taken, and apparently one was manipulated, by Mark Freeland, a fantastic photographer who lives in Franklin, Indiana, on Feb. 1, 2013 at the Johnson County Museum of History in Franklin. The museum has my book available in its gift shop. All copies are autographed. Thanks, Mark!
Amazon’s Midwest American History best-seller list
