Jim will share excerpts from his latest translation of Fierce as a Lioness & Busy as a Bee: In Grandmother’s Footsteps (anticipated publication early 2020) a book written by Martha Betz, who works as a genealogist at the Bessarabian Heimat Museum in Stuttgart, Germany.
Longtime North Star Chapter member, Jim Gessele, currently has five translated works published and in circulation. This book, Fierce as a Lioness…., will be the sixth. Proposed publication date is early 2020. Seven more translated works await publication. (*note: Bill Bosch, Spearfish, SD, was initially scheduled for this date.
