Boxes: Did Howard Hughes Live Another 25 Years?
Thursday, September 23, 2010, 7:00 - 8:00 PMMark Musick has lived a very full life: a military career resulting in the rank of major general, working as a nonprofit fundraiser, and serving as chief operating officer for a venture partnership. When a donor presented him with the story that she'd spent the last 31 years married to Howard Hughes, Musick was understandably skeptical.
Join Indigo Bridge Books in hosting Mark Musick as he discusses Boxes by Douglas Wellman. Hear how Mark's disbelief dissolved as he painstakingly researched Eva McLelland's claims--in the final chapter of a fascinating American legend's odyssey.
