A Fun Afternoon at the Waverly Branch

I want to thank Ron Hawkins for presenting a wonderful program at the Waverly Branch on September 27. Ron brought a generous sampling from his memorabilia collection for a display in our study rooms. He also brought videos from his recent trip to England, including his visit to the Cavern Club, ground zero for Beatlemania.

After showing a number of videos and sharing memories and information, Ron changes shirts and gave a guided (magical mystery?) tour of his collection. He explained where and when many of the most interesting items came into his possession, providing a trip down memory lane for the attendees.

Then Ron changed shirts a final time and presented a trivia challenge with posters, buttons, post cards and other items for the first correct answer to each question. Who was the bass player preceding Paul's assumption of that role? What German bass-playing artist provided the cover illustration for Revolver? The questions and answers were great fun for all.

Everyone was pleased to receive their prize.

Some were ecstatic to receive their prize.

Be on the lookout for your next opportunity to catch Ron as he continues to make presentations around the area.

And be on the lookout for a wide variety of programs at all of the library's branches.
