Henry is the author of the memoir, Sweet Dreams: A Family History. (Hidden River Press, 2011) Sweet Dreams chronicles the early years of the author’s life growing up in post-war Wayne. The book has been described as “a remarkable feat of memory delivered in extraordinary prose.” The NYJournal of Books calls DeWitt Henry, a Harvard graduate and Emerson College professor, a “writer’s writer”. Books will be available for purchase.

Don’t just do something–sit there. Well, sort of.

Your movie theater experience here should be enhanced with our recently installed new audio/video system in the Winsor Room. We’ll serve refreshments. And thanks to the Friends of the Library, your ticket is free!

See you there!

More free photo sharing, dear readers! I think I need a better camera. But not to worry… if these still shots leave you wanting, then go to the live action PODCAST and be a part of last week’s very special author event when famed WWII paratrooper Babe Heffron was at the Library :

http://vimeo.com/32157331

Join us for a Veteran’s Day event, presented in partnership with Radnor Historical Society and Bateman Gallagher American Legion Post 668, on Wednesday, November 9, 7:30pm.

If you watched the outstanding, award-winning HBO miniseries Band of Brothers (based on the book by Stephen Ambrose) you will recall Babe’s portrayal as one of the guys from South Philly, a private who was with Easy Company, 2nd Battallion, 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment in the 101st Airborne Division in the Army.

“Wild Bill” Guarnere was also portrayed in the series, and like Babe, fought in several major battles including Operation Market Garden in the Netherlands and the Battle of the Bulge at Bastogne, Belgium.

Eighty-eight year old Babe Heffron, is co-author of Brothers in Battle, Best of Friends: Two WWII Paratroppers from the Original Band of Brothers Tell Their Stories. Babe’s co-author is his close friend, fellow paratrooper, Wild Bill Guarnere.

Guarnere can’t be with us because he has a committment in New Orleans and implores us to have a good time without him. It looks to me like both men have no plans on letting the dust settle on their boots anytime soon. I heard that Heffron just returned from a trip to Virginia and will soon be headed up to West Point.

On Wednesday night, Babe will talk about his portrayal in the miniseries, his book, and his post-war life. I’m sure he has some good stories…that are really history lessons for us all. We’ll have books available for purchase.
