SUMMARY:Author Louise Endres Moore
DESCRIPTION:Louise Endres Moore\, Lodi native and author of Alfred: The Quiet History of a World War II Infantryman\, will speak at the Ruth Culver Community Library Tuesday\, April 21 at 6:30pm.  Moore's book tells her father's story. For 57 years\, Alfred told his family he had been a barber\, chauffeur\, and German language translator during World War II within the U.S. Army.  But following the death of his wife\, Alfred started sharing with his daughter Louise a glimpse into his actual experiences.  What began as a weekly napkin-capture of stories during nursing home visits with her dad became a nearly two decade deep dive into his true role in the war as a reluctant front-line machine gunner in Europe 1944-1945. Intensely researched and thoroughly human\, Alfred compiles a lifetime panorama of the experiences\, emotions\, and character of one infantryman who never wanted a part of the war but accepted it.  He returned home\, discernibly the gentle Wisconsin farmer he was when he left\, to a family unaware of what he had done.  And what he had survived.\nBooks will be available for purchase. Contact Meagan at 643-8318 with questions. Thank you to the Friends of the Ruth Culver Community Library for sponsoring this event.
