The Veterans Book Club will be meeting the Thursday after Thanksgiving to discuss Code Talker: The First and Only Memoir by one of the Original Navajo Code Talkers by Chester Nez with Judith Schiess Avila. Ms. Avila will be joining us via Zoom to tell us about her experiences interviewing and writing with Mr. Nez. It should be a fascinating conversation.
The book explores Mr. Nez’s experiences growing up in a traditional Navajo family, and their lives as nomadic shepherds, and well as his experiences in the Pacific theater as a Marine.
If you are interested in participating, please contact Rhonda Culbertson (rculbert@iusb.edu) The Veterans Book Club welcomes everyone interested in books, conversation and veteran’s experiences. The book club will be in-person in room 301 of the library and on Zoom.
