Village
History Consultant Maurice “Christopher” Morley,
writer Ann Hauprich and photographer
Antonio Bucca were among those on hand
to autograph books at Brookside Museum in Ballston Spa
as part of December 2009 First Friday festivities.
Joining the trio was children’s book illustrator
Jody Wheeler -- who shares the front cover of
Ballston Spa: Legacies Unlimited with Morley. All four
are graduates of Ballston Spa High School.
Included in the almost 300-page volume is a chapter devoted
to the Rotary Club of Ballston Spa’s new literacy fund
-- which was established in Mr. Morley’s name earlier
this year. A portion of the proceeds from the sale of
the local history book (available at half price until
December 24) will be donated to that most worthy cause. |
