Bender Book Club Meeting
I had the rare and wonderful honor last night to discuss “Chief Bender’s Burden” with a book club. They held the meeting in perhaps the nicest house I have ever seen, on Lake Minnetonka, and the members were as welcoming as the scenery was gorgeous. And what questions! Readers always ask such great questions — which is fortunate, as the questions make me think of things I otherwise would have overlooked. Thanks to Mimi, Nicole, and the rest of the club, for the flattering invitation (and the delicious food).
