NOVEMBER PROGRAM
On Wednesday November 18, 2009 at 7:30 pm the SDCWRT will hold its 279th meeting at Palisades Presbyterian Church, 6301 Birchwood St. San Diego, CA 92120. Because of illness, our speaker for this month had to cancel and with little time to find someone to fill this spot we will be repeating one of our more popular programs, “SHOW and TELL” along with a Book Chat moderated by Mark Sharpiro. All rmembers are encouraged to participate by bringing that special piece of Civil War memorabilia, a favorite book or memories of that trip which left a lasting impression. Use your imagination and if it says Civil War we want to see it or hear about it.
Last month’s presentation given by Mark Shapiro on Ambrose Bierce referred to his short story “An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge” conceded by many as one of the greatest literately works ever written. In 2005, Kurt Vonnegut referred to “Occurrence” in his book A Man Without a Country as one of the greatest works of American literature, and called anyone who hadn’t read it a “twerp”. If you would like to read this short story you can find it at the following web page.
