Transition from Zimbabwe hut to California assisting others
Sep 14, 2017
In September she will talk to us about her transition from living in a mud hut in Zimbabwe to being a business woman in Santa Rosa providing living assistance to others. Martha was born in a traditional village in Southern Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe). She and her sisters and brothers were raised in a mud hut by their mother, a woman illiterate but wise. "Education is the key," Martha's mother told her children. Martha escaped the poverty and patriarchy of Zimbabwe through schooling, strength of will, and careful planning. After obtaining a nursing degree in Ireland, Martha made her way to America, where she fulfilled her dream of business ownership. |

WEST COAST SUB ATTACKS DURING WWII
Dec 14, 2017 12:15 PM
John's presentation is entitled "WEST COAST SUB ATTACKS DURING WWII." The California coast was SWARMING with Japanese submarines in the weeks immediately following the attack on Pearl Harbor. Between December 10, 1941 and October 1942, nine Japanese submarines sunk a dozen merchant ships between Vancouver and San Diego as well as shelling the California coast on more than one occasion--episodes little remembered today. His talk is based on interviews he conducted with the Japanese naval officers who participated in the attacks. These interviews form the backbone of his non-fiction book, OPERATION STORM, which "The Wall Street Journal" called, "a fascinating, meticulously researched, and deft account." |
