An afternoon of remembrance. A reading of SDSU military members’ letters home during WWII. These deeply personal letters, rich with hope, humor and resilience, will be brought to life on stage by Write Out Loud and co-produced with Scripps Ranch Theatre. This special presentation, developed in partnership with San Diego State University, was written by Jonnie Wilson as a tribute to the authors of the 5,000 WWII letters housed in SDSU Library’s Special Collections and University Archives. Inspired by Lisa Shapiro’s acclaimed "No Forgotten Fronts: From Classrooms to Combat," the program honors the legacy of Dr. Lauren C. Post, a World War I veteran and SDSU geography professor, who received the letters from several thousand former San Diego students who had gone off to war and then published them in a monthly Aztec News Letter that connected the students to each other and to the campus.

Join us at the Inspirations gallery for a One-on-One with Laurel Corona for a reading, discussion, and Q&A about her new novel, "Aloha Wanderwell Takes the Wheel." Book Description: Sixteen-year-old Idris Hall ran away from her boarding school in 1924, changed her name, and joined the daring around-the-world expedition of charismatic Walter “Cap” Wanderwell, beginning a decade-long adventure that would take her across five continents behind the wheel of a Model T, in an era where roads were often no more than grooves in the dirt, and few if any people had seen a car or a European face. About the Author: Laurel Corona is the author of "The Four Seasons" and "The Mapmaker’s Daughter," among other works of fiction and non-fiction. After retiring as a professor of Humanities at San Diego City College, she now travels the world as a lecturer for several luxury cruise lines. She has received numerous awards for her writing, including a Christopher Medal and the Theodor Geisel Award for Book of the Year at the San Diego Book Awards. A native of Southern California, she now lives in Victoria, British Columbia. San Diego Writers, Ink on Facebook / Instagram
