SUMMARY:Book Talk:   Connecticut 169 Club:  Your Passport and Guide to Exploring Connecticut by Marty Podskosh
DESCRIPTION:Come to a Wilton Historical Society presentation and book signing by author and historian Marty Podskoch discussing his new book\, The Connecticut 169 Club: Your Passport and Guide to Exploring Connecticut\, which includes a light lunch. The new travel book encourages travelers to visit all of the towns and villages of our beautiful and unique state. From the quaint splendor of the town of Kent in the northwest hills of Connecticut to the great restaurants that dot the shoreline of Westbrook to New Britain’s industrial roots\, to Wilton’s colonial past\, Podskoch has compiled little known facts and fascinating information about all 169 towns\, cities and villages in the State of Connecticut in the hopes of encouraging people to visit every one of them. \nJoin this informal “club” by getting out and about\, and taking the road less traveled! The book has a space for travelers to journal about their experiences and a place to get the book stamped or signed by a resident or business in each town. The reward for visiting all of Connecticut’s towns\, cities and villages will be a “Leatherman” patch which commemorates this legendary wanderer\, who during the late 1800s wore leather clothes and travelled a 365-mile circuit in approximately 34 days between the Hudson and Connecticut Rivers while camping out in caves. Podskoch will help organize a dinner in the fall of next year to honor those determined souls who have made it to every municipality\, all 169! During that event they will get their Leatherman keepsakes. “Anyone can attend\,” Podskoch says. “Members will share their stories and adventures.” It is worth noting that the Old Leatherman is well documented as visiting Wilton regularly\, and could be spotted at the Rock Lake Reservoir. \nThere is no membership fee\, just a desire to experience all of Connecticut. Adults and children of all ages can be members. What a great adventure for families\, grandparents\, and their grandchildren\, or go by oneself. Most members will travel by car while others might use a bike\, motorcycle\, or maybe a canoe! “It doesn’t matter what age people are or what means of transportation people use to get there\,” the 74-year-old Podskosh said. “The whole idea is to get people to see the many beautiful places in our state.” \nThe Connecticut guide book\, Podskoch’s ninth book\, entailed nearly two years of collaborative effort as he recruited Connecticut writers\, historians and officials. ­Each contributed a passage about their town’s histories\, haunts; favorite food fixes and historic landmarks. The Wilton chapter of the book was provided by Allison Gray Sanders\, co-director of the Wilton Historical Society. \nAfter Podskoch’s talk\, the book will be available for sale and signing. The hard cover 8.5 x 11 book has 376 pages with hundreds of photos & maps and sells for $24.95. \nThere is no charge to attend for Wilton Historical Society members; the non-member fee is $10 a person. Please register for this talk and light luncheon:  call 203.762.7257 or email the Society. \n

SUMMARY:Author Talk:  Jacqueline Raposo – The Me Without: A Year Exploring Habit\, Healing\, and Happiness
DESCRIPTION:Wiltonian and journalist Jacqueline Raposo finds herself sick\, single\, broke\, and wandering in a fog. Fighting chronic illness\, debt and other low points in her life she embarks on subtracting some of her most constant habits from her life – social media\, shopping\, sugar\, and negative thoughts – for periods of 30 to 90 days over the course of one year. \nIn this intimately curated search for self-improvement (a quest that readers can easily personalize for themselves)\, Raposo confesses to the sometimes violent and profound shifts in her social interactions\, physical health\, and sense of self-worth. Part memoir\, part case study\, this book offers the reader an inspiring example of how to forge one’s own journey\, expose wounds\, and help personal healing. \nRaposo is an expert interviewer and writes regularly for Food & Wine\, Saveur\, and Cosmopolitan\, and is the producer and co-host of “Love Bites Radio\,” and connects chronic illness/disability advocates with protest events as the co-founder of #MarchingWithMe. \nSee library’s registration link for more details. Q&A will follow the talk. There is no charge to attend\, but registration is highly recommended. Register online or call 203.762.6334. Book signing and purchase available courtesy of Elm Street Books\, New Canaan. Media Sponsor:  GOOD Morning Wilton.

SUMMARY:Author Talk:  Lee Mandel – Sterling Hayden's Wars
DESCRIPTION:Author Lee Mandel sheds light on the private wars of Sterling Hayden\, examining his personal life\, custody battles–which included kidnapping his four children–alcohol and substance abuse\, and depression. \nSterling Hayden was a Hollywood actor who appeared in well-known films including The Asphalt Jungle\, Dr. Strangelove and The Godfather. Casting aside his acting career\, he trained as a commando in Europe and then joined the OSS\, earning a Silver Star for his distinguished service. He became a Communist Party-sympathizer after the war that came back to haunt him. \nThis story comes close to home since the Haydens moved to Wilton in 1968. Sterling died in May of 1986. Kitty and son David still reside in Wilton. \nMandel has a long and decorated history\, having served in the Navy before retiring in 2013 as the Command Flight Surgeon\, Naval Safety Center\, Norfolk\, Virginia. Through his career he has authored several history publications for history and military history journals. \nQ&A will follow the talk. There is no charge to attend\, but registration is highly recommended. Register online or call 203.762.6334. Books will be available for purchase and signing.
