This event is co-hosted by Mt. Kearsarge Indian Museum and the New Hampshire Telephone Museum.
The author will be present to discuss her book. After growing up in New York and New Hampshire, Judith Avila made New Mexico her home. She has worked as a social worker, an artist, an air traffic controller, and a computer consultant before finally discovering writing.
Her non-fiction project, Code Talker, is the memoir of Chester Nez - the only memoir by one of the original Navajo code talkers of WWII. Published by Penguin/Berkley in 2011, it is still a bestseller.
She is the winner of the NM/AZ Book Award and NM Press Women Zia Award. Code Talker Chester Nez's grandson, Latham Nez, will accompany Judith and will be available for questions.
Signed books will be available for sale. Admission is $10 for adults and children under 10 are free. Tickets can be purchased in advance or at the door.
