MAY 24, 2016 PROGRAM:
George Washington Action Hero
Author Steve Yoch is a highly rated speaker who has written Becoming George Washington and has received wide praise and extensive media coverage, including selection as "fall read" by the Pioneer Press. Yoch will share the largely unknown story of how an insecure fatherless boy rises to become our indispensable founding father. A far cry from the powdered haired General or President presented in most Washington biographies, Yoch's engaging speech reveals young George through repeated harrowing battles in the French & Indian War as well as discussing the highly controversial, although well documented, affair between Washington and Sally Fairfax.
