The Astronaut Wives Club

Don't miss author Lily Koppel at the New Canaan Library on September 12th, 7pm, 151 Main Street. Her latest book "The Astronaut Wives Club" is a fascinating read on the women linked to our earliest space explorers.
As America's Mercury Seven astronauts were launched on death-defying missions, television cameras focused on the brave smiles of their young wives. Overnight, these women were transformed from military spouses into American royalty. They had tea with Jackie Kennedy, appeared on the cover of Life magazine, and quickly grew into fashion icons. A great story in our American history.

Author Talk: Turney Duff – The Buy Side

Join us June 13th @ 7PM
Author Talk: Turney Duff – The Buy Side



Thursday, June 13, 7 – 8:30 p.m @ The Wilton Library

The Buy Side: A Wall Street Trader’s Tale of Spectacular Excess shows vividly — and sometimes shockingly — the day-time rewards and night-time temptations of making a living on the Street. Former trader Turney Duff’s true account is a high-adrenaline journey into a culture where drugs, sex, and millions in trading commissions are never enough. Turney Duff began working on Wall Street in 1994, and his career included stints at Morgan Stanley, the Galleon Group, Argus Partners, and J.L. Berkowitz. See registration link for more details.
