Author, Rebecca Daniels, MFA, PhD, will discuss her WWII-era book which is based on correspondence from a support soldier working in a European combat zone in the 1940s.  The book follows her father, Captain Harold Alec Daniels through his various overseas assignments in England, North Africa, and Italy, as well as reflections on the war once he was home in Oregon.
Dr. Daniels taught performance, writing, and speaking in liberal arts universities for over 25 years, including St. Lawrence University in Canton, NY, from 1992-2015. She was the founding producing director of Artists Repertory Theatre in Portland, OR, and directed with many professional Portland theatre companies in the 1980s. She is the author of the groundbreaking Women Stage Directors Speak and has been published in multiple professional theatre journals. In 2015, she retired from teaching and moved to the Pioneer Valley in western Massachusetts where, in 2018, she completed the manuscript for Keeping the Lights on for Ike.
