SUMMARY:Donald Proffit Book Reading
DESCRIPTION:Donald Proffit\, a former arts educator and school principal\, was assigned to alternative service in Alaska as a Vietnam War-era conscientious objector. He will read from his memoir\, Hardship Alaska\, and talk about these formative years of exile\, service\, soul-searching\, and self-discovery. Arriving in Anchorage\, Alaska on Halloween night 1970 after a ten-day transcontinental journey by car-his trek replete with a breakdown on a Yukon mountain pass\, a freak snow gale on the Saskatchewan prairie\, rough men in roadhouses\, Soviet skaters\, and good Samaritans-he realized quickly that he was no longer in Allentown\, Pennsylvania. His world was about to change forever.
