In 1963
Julia Child became the first superstar chef on TV. Her program was so
influential that the Smithsonian Institute features her kitchen as a permanent
exhibit! But there was another side to Julia Child – one that the public knew
little about. In 1943, twenty years earlier during World War II, she worked in
the OSS which was to become the CIA. She worked at the right hand of Wild Bill
Donovan, the head of America’s foreign spies! With her husband, Julia moved
from one dangerous post to another, serving our country before she learned how
to cook. Award-winning speaker and historian Barry
Bradford will mesmerize you with a fascinating presentation about both sides of
the amazing Julia Child. $10 at the door. For more information call Joan Marks at 224/233-2366.
