Exciting Events; Past and Upcoming
On Saturday, I had a wonderful time at Goshen Public Library and Historical Society. My talk was centered, naturally, on the history behind my Bronze Age Crete series. The audience was very engaged and asked questions for over half an hour.
Speaking to groups is one of my favorite activities!
