Dr. Howard Miller Lecture Series – A Sweet Strangeness Fills My Heart: The Journals of Sallie Independence Foster 1861 – 1881by Dolores Hydock and Bobby Horton
October 17 @ 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm
Renowned storyteller Dolores Hydock and musician Bobby Horton will give their presentation of A Sweet Strangeness Fills My Heart: The Journals of Sallie Independence Foster 1861-1887. This performance, based on Sallie’s diaries, papers, and letters from her brothers off at war, presents a funny, touching, and uniquely personal look at the life and times that Sallie shared with her paper “dear Companion.” Dolores and Bobby interweave Sallie’s story with camp songs, period favorites, and original tunes to create a poignant, powerful, and humorous picture of a world of innocence turned upside-down.
The performance will be held at Wabash Avenue Presbyterian Church on Thursday, October 17 at 7:00 pm.
