A Valentine’s Virtual Presentation: Dearest Anna, A Love Story
I went to this presentation last year at the History Center of Olmsted County, Rochester, Minn. It was excellent. I encourage you to attend this year’s virtual presentation. You can enjoy from anywhere! It’s a wonderful love story. And true, discovered when the author began researching her family history and was given a bundle of letters the her grandfather and his first love exchanged. Incredibly sweet.
It’s tomorrow! 1 p.m. to 2 p.m. Tickets still available!
