On Thursday, Sept. 7 at 7:30 p.m., at Warwick’s Books in La Jolla, Lawton will sign and read from the book, where readers of Irish history, true crime, and courtroom drama will learn the story of Irish refugee Kevin Barry Artt, whose life parallels the history of the modern Troubles. Narrative nonfiction book “ABOVE THE GROUND: A True Story of the Troubles in Northern Ireland,” published by WildBlue Press, features debut author (and San Diego attorney) Dan Lawton’s deep dive into the story of the false conviction of an innocent man for an Irish Republican Army murder, and his daring escape from the Maze prison amid the grim and bloody conflict known as the Troubles during the early 1980s in Northern Ireland. "ABOVE THE GROUND: A True Story of the Troubles in Northern Ireland" is a gripping chronicle of one of the darkest periods in Northern Ireland's history. It is a tale of survival and redemption of an innocent man against all odds. Themes of injustice, perseverance, and hope emerge in the story of Artt's escape and struggle against an unjust legal system and two mighty legal adversaries – the British and U.S. governments. Lawton's short fiction, essays, and columns have appeared in The Recorder, Los Angeles Daily Journal, The Pensive Quill, The Daily Transcript, and Sheepshead Review. Dan, a practicing lawyer, is a shareholder with the San Diego office of Klinedinst PC, where he practices with the firm’s appellate practice and commercial litigation groups.

The Coronado Historical Association invites you to the next installment of our Wine & Lecture series: Skydiving Entrepreneur H. “Skippy” Smith and the Pacific Parachute Company in San Diego. Eighty-two years ago, Howard “Skippy” Smith founded the nation’s first black-owned and managed defense production plant in San Diego. Agin Shaheed will discuss the life of this skydiver turned entrepreneur. Born in Alabama in 1913, “Skippy” Smith moved to Los Angeles California during the Great Depression with little to nothing in his pocket with hopes of becoming a pilot. By 1939, he had become a renowned skydiver with his partner Mac “Skip” Gravelly. The duo became well known for the difficult and dangerous free fall jumps followed by delayed parachute openings. Skippy Smith would eventually move to San Diego and become the first African American hired by defense contractor, Standard Parachute to test, pack and inspect parachutes manufactured for WWII. Around the same time, comedian Jack Benny’s partner, Eddie” Rochester” Anderson was looking for ways he could contribute to the war effort. With Anderson’s financial backing, Skippy’s Pacific Parachute Company opened on 8th Street in San Diego in March 1942.
