Have you read the book, “Tailspin”, yet? It’s the true story of a World War II tail gunner from Gay’s Mills who survived a four-mile fall without a parachute…only to land in Nazi hands. But the book is much more than a thrilling war story, it’s a “tribute to one’s survival instinct, the Midwest work ethic, community support, and family courage”. This amazing book was written by Westby Middle School social studies teacher, John Armbruster.
The Friends of Knutson Library is partnering with the Coon Valley Legion Auxiliary to have an “author social” with John Armbruster on Wednesday, October 26th from 6:30 – 8:30 at the Coon Valley American Legion. John’s presentation will include video, audio quotes, animation, readings, and storytelling as well as banners and artifacts. Coffee and cookies will be provided, and John will have books available for purchase & autographing.
Mark the date and plan to attend this thought-provoking & interesting event at the American Legion. The purchase of a signed book from a local author might just be the perfect Christmas gift for someone on your list!
