SUMMARY:Sherry Pringle
DESCRIPTION:Topic: “Extraordinary Women\, Extraordinary Times” \nThe road to uncovering the life and death of an uncle she never knew\, killed when his ship was torpedoed off the coast of France in 1944\, led Sherry to write her first non-fiction book\, “All the Ship’s Men: HMCS Athabaskan’s Untold Stories”.

Sherry is also an artist\, whose paintings grace the covers of her first book and museums and private collections. Sherry will hold a book signing following her presentation. \nLocation: Centennial Hall\, 550 Wellington St.\, London ON
