A local author will read from her compelling narrative during a free event at University Place Pierce County Library.
Author Julie Titone will talk about her book, “Boocoo
Dinky Dow: My Short, Crazy Vietnam War,” which she co-authored with Grady Myers. The memoir recounts his military initiation at Fort Lewis, and describes the dangers as well as the camaraderie of serving in Vietnam.
Books will be available for purchase and signing.
Titone’s writing and photography have appeared in
regional, national and international publications. She received a Kiplinger Fellowship in Public Affairs Journalism at Ohio State University, and a Ford Motor Co. Environmental Reporting Fellowship from the International Center for Journalists.
Friends of the University Place Library sponsor this free
event.
