January 25, 2006 Lecture and Booksigning - World War II
Bombardier Charles Stevens and James Doolittle's granddaughter, Jonna Hoppes,
present information from their World War II-themed books. Charles Norman
Stevens will discuss, An Innocent At Polebrook: A Memoir of an 8th Air
Force Bombardier. Stevens is a retired English teach who once served the
351st Bomb Group based in Polebrook, England. Only 19 years young at the
time he was called into action, his first-hand story describes how it felt
for a California kid to leave the land of sunshine and suddenly be flying
German bomb raids in a B-17 fighter. Jonna Hoppes will discuss,
Calculated Risk: The Extraordinary Life of Jimmy Doolittle. Her
book (there have been others) pays tribute to not only to aviator
Jimmy Doolittle, but to his faithful wife who supported his efforts.
Doolittle was known for a daring raid on Tokyo in 1942 and captured the
hearts of Americans with many feats as an engineer who pushed the limits of
aeronautics during World War II. This event will is hosted by Friends of the
Library as a fundraiser to support Huntington Beach Public Library programs.

January 25, 2006 Grand Night for Singing - This Musical
Revue in 2 acts with music by Richard Rodgers and lyrics by Oscar
Hammerstein II first opened the Broadway season in 1994 with tremendous
response. Over three decades after Rogers & Hammerstein collaborated on
the The Sound Of Music, A Grand Night for Singing gained wildly enthusiastic
reviews. Rodgers & Hammerstein's "Shall We Dance?" performed as a comic pas
de deux for a towering beauty and her diminutive admirer throws a hilarious
spin on the original stage presentation of this and other songs from two of
the most prolific songwriters on the American musical scene. The song list
includes many best-selling Broadway hits such as Some Enchanted Evening, I'm
Gonna Wash That Man Right Outta My Hair, I Cain't Say No, Surrey With The
Fringe On Top, It Might As Well Be Spring, Oh, What A Beautiful Mornin', If
I Loved You and many more. Location: Huntington Beach Playhouse at
Huntington Beach Central Library, 7111 Talbert Ave., Huntington Beach, CA
