On November 12, Longtime Seabrook resident and author Mary Sue Anton hosted a discussion of her latest book, “Tales of a Century-Old Courthouse”, at Evelyn Meador Library. Mary Sue Anton recalled a family traumatic event which occurred 80 years ago and how her memory of a middle-of-the night escape from turbulent Mississippi River waters became a book.
Thanks to everyone that supported this event!
