Book launch

Hedman launch

Duane Hicks

Bea Galbraith was the first customer to drop by the launch for Jack Hedman’s new book, “Dire Needs–Dire Straits,” held Saturday afternoon at Betty’s. Galbraith has a special interest in the book–she is the sister of the late Lawrence Allan, who was interviewed about his time attending a railcar classroom. The book is available for purchase at Betty’s, Pharmasave, Northwoods Gallery & Gifts, the Fort Frances Museum, and the Fort Frances Seniors’ Centre (Sister Kennedy Centre), as well as Tompkins Hardware in Emo.
