My Old Man and the Mountain: Book talk/multimedia presentation
Local author Leif Whittaker presents a 45-minute multimedia presentation with more than 80 stunning photographs and several film clips from modern and historic expeditions to Mount Everest. He combines stories from his own adventures in the Himalaya and his father's legendary climb in 1963 to illustrate an inspiring and humorous talk about family, teamwork, risk, and perseverance. The presentation will be followed by a short Q&A.
This event is presented as part of Read & Share, Whatcom County Library System’s countywide book group. Read & Share is a WCLS anniversary program, celebrating 75 years of sharing stories.
