Description
Sunday March 15 | 2 PM | Hilton Garden Room Local author Chris Halvorson hopes this lecture and workshop will inspire attendees to dust off their boxes of family memorabilia and start mining them for golden stories—true or not. Attendees are encouraged to bring one memorabilia item or a significant photograph from their family to help in the afternoon’s discussion. Last fall, Halvorson published a young adult novel, “Inmate,” that is very loosely based on her family. She will focus on that book’s genesis, which was her curiosity about the technology behind such websites as ancestry.com.
