Evening with an Author - The REAL Women: Veterans of Vietnam In-Person

Inspired by best-selling author Kristin Hannah’s hit historical novel, The Women, award-winning journalist Nancy E. Lynch presents The REAL Women, Veterans of Vietnam on May 13 at 5:30 p.m. in the Local History Alcove (2nd Floor) at the Geneva Public Library, 244 Main St., Geneva, N.Y.

She will share REAL war letters from REAL nurses and a REAL Donut Dolly that she received from the combat zone and published in her popular News Journal newspaper column, Nancy’s Vietnam Mailbag, from 1968 to 1972. Lynch promised in her last newspaper column in December 1972 to someday put the nearly 1,000 war letters and hundreds of pictures she received in a book to honor all Vietnam veterans. Mission accomplished on Veterans Day 2008 with the release of her award-winning Vietnam Mailbag, Voices From the War: 1968-1972, available after her program for $40.
