Historic Glyndon, Inc, presents Dr. Lisa New, a Harvard English professor, reading from her family memoir Jacob’s Cane: A Jewish Family’s Journey from the Four Lands of Lithuania to the Ports of London and Baltimore; A Memoir in Five Generations on Thursday evening, October 7, 2010, 7:00, at the Glyndon Woman’s Club (4627 Butler Road, Glyndon).
Admission is free and refreshments will be served. Vernene Rogers Lenz is chairing the event.
HGI is sponsoring the reading because early 20th-century Glyndon plays a small role in the book and because, 11 years ago during the early stages of Dr. New’s research, several HGI members were of assistance to her.
