Lexington Community Education presents a Book Launch for Mimi Aarens & Pamela Moriarity

Mimi Aarens and Pamela Moriarty will read from their recently published memoirs about their mothers and coming of age in the WW II era.

Pamela Moriarty spent many a night in an air raid shelter with her mother as bombs rained over her adopted hometown near Birmingham, England.

Mimi Aarens led a relatively undisturbed life enriched by the attentions of her colorful and vigilant mother in Brooklyn, New York during the war years.

Lexington residents and friends in their years as mothers themselves, Mimi and Pamela lost touch with each other, only to be reunited as participants in a Lexington Community Education memoir workshop led by Tom Daley. Their stories reflect the vast differences in their experience of growing up during the war.

The event will be held on Saturday, April 22 at 2:00pm at the Lexington Depot, 13 Depot Square. The cost is $5.00.

Pre-registration strongly recommended. To register, using a VISA or MasterCard, please contact Lexington Community Education at 781 862 8043.
