the wyomissing public library hosted a poetry reading for the second year of this project in mid-december. two residents of country meadows, esther rolland and dick villforth, visited as special guests, as they live about 3 miles away from this particular library.
and like a poetry reading at their place of residence in november, we honored jim dalrymple who died in september at the age of 100 and was one of their neighbors in the same building.
esther liked that the afternoon meant visiting another library in her life, especially since it is hard for her to walk nowadays, so she sees less out in the world.
after dick no longer worked in berkshire knitting mills, he ended up going back to school for engineering and later worked in south korea in nuclear power plant settings. he lived and worked in a few other foreign countries, too, and even took his family to japan for a short time.
colleen stamm and jonathan moore who work at the library generously offered assistance with photography during the reading.
