Local author, Tim Pletkovich was at the library last night to discuss his book, Civil War Fathers, Sons of the Civil War in World War II. Tim discussed how the book came to be written. Tim was a teacher in Peoria. He assigned his students to interview World War II veterans whose fathers served in the Civil War. A group of his students enjoyed it so much that they would stay after school to keep the correspondence going. News of the project spread around the country and that led to Tim compiling the interviews into the book. Mr. Pletkovich is a natural speaker, full of stories and very knowledgeable about his subject. Thank you Mr.Pletkovich!
