The Probus meeting itself will start at 2:00 pm -- please log in a few minutes early so if there are technical issues, we can attempt to solve them before the meeting starts.
Our first speaker will be club member Ian Thompson who will present a talk about Sidney B. (Dusty) d'Esterre, a most interesting man who was central to the development of Comox.
Our second speaker will be Amanda Hale, a Hornby Island author. She will discuss her newest book called 'Mad Hatter', a novel which contains a great deal of memoir concerning her family in World War II England. Amanda will explain how she came about to write this novel and will read excerpts from it. Amanda Hale has published four novels, two poetry books, and two collections of stories set in the Cuban town of Baracoa. She won the Prism International prize for creative non-fiction for ‘The Death of Pedro Iván’, and has twice been a finalist for the prestigious Relit Fiction award. Her latest novel, ‘Mad Hatter’, is a WWII story, a fictionalized version of her own family’s wartime experience following the internment of her father.
