Snowshoe Thompson Talk at the Library...
Snowshoe Thompson is a legend in these parts and it was very interesting to have his story told by author, Frank Tortorich. Frank shared his newest book, John A. “Snowshoe” Thompson Pioneer Mail Carrier of the Sierra, a gripping account of the legendary life, legacy, and accomplishments of Snowshoe Thompson.
Frank told the tale to an audience that was truly impressed with the presentation. We could have listened to his stories all evening.
Needless-to-say, Frank was beyond touched (and surprised) by their efforts and quite rewarded that they still cared to hear him "teach". Somehow, they heard about the presentation and had to come. Frank commented on the fact that the students were almost to retirement age which meant he started teaching when he was ten. Funny guy.
Stories are found in many places. Tonight was a great evening of stories being shared.
