SUMMARY:Spinning Demonstration at Quincy Homestead

SUMMARY:Members and guests only: Lecture by Author William Martin
DESCRIPTION:Dames and invited guests are welcome to join the NSCDA-MA for a rousing lecture by author William Martin on his latest book\, December 41.\nOn the day after Pearl Harbor\, shocked Americans gather around their radios to hear Franklin Roosevelt declare war.

Or Vivian Hopewell\, the aspiring actress who signs on to play Martin Browning’s wife and cannot help but fall in love with him? \nFrom New York Times bestselling author William Martin comes a WWII thriller as intense as The Day of the Jackal and as gripping as The Eye of the Needle. In December ’41\, Martin takes us on the ultimate manhunt\, a desperate chase from Los Angeles to Washington\, D. C.\, in the first weeks of the Second World War. \n  \nA light lunch will be served after the talk.\n  \nSnow date: February 9
