On July 23, WALTER hosted columnist and author James “Jim” Dodson for WALTER Book Club at Theatre in the Park. He had just released “The Road that Made America,” an account of his voyage along the historic Great Wagon Road and the flame-keepers he encountered along the way. Thank you to sponsor Green Front Furniture, as well as our partners Under the Oak Catering, Westgate Wine, If It’s Paper and Alphagraphics, for making the evening a success!
