An Evening with Author Joyce Peacock Lawton - Look Back, Don't Stare

The SASRI Book Club is hosting a Zoom call on March 25th at 7:00 PM with Author Joyce Peacock Lawton.  She will be presenting her new book, Look Back, Don't Stare.  Ms. Lawton wrote this book as an homage to her father, James Peacock who grew up within the close-knit, Scottish community of Pawtucket.

In her book, Joyce recounts the story of her father, James, through his own words, stories, and anecdotes. She accomplishes what we all wish to do-preserve the story of our parents and ancestors for generations to come, and keep their memories alive.

It's been estimated that the City of Pawtucket had a larger percent of Scottish people than any other city in the United States (circa 1911). Many of our members have roots in Pawtucket; this will be a very interesting evening for them and anyone else interested in RI Scottish history.

If you wish to participate in the Zoom call, please send an email to kellehergail@gmail.com and you'll receive a Zoom link on March 22nd.
