Area Author Affair: Susan Schaller – JFK’s Secret Doctor
Monday, Dec. 10, 6 – 7 p.m.
JFK’s Secret Doctor tells a thrilling story of adventure and a historic medical career. Set against the grand panorama of twentieth century world events, it captures the remarkable life and spirit of climber and medical visionary Hans Kraus (1905 -1996) who was also John F. Kennedy’s back specialist. Susan Schaller (who writes as Susan E. B. Schwartz) is a freelance writer and contributes regularly to national adventure and sports magazines, including Outside, Climbing, Rock and Ice, and Runner’s World. An American Alpine Club Literary Committee member and former board member, Schwartz is a rock climber, scuba instructor, shipwreck divemaster, and marathoner. Books will be available for purchase and signing. Light refreshments are served at Area Author Affairs, held to celebrate our local authors. Registration encouraged.
