OLD LYME — On Friday, Aug. 26, at 2 p.m., the Old Lyme Phoebe Griffin Noyes hosts former resident and local author Ken Dooley to discuss his recent book, Dooley Noted.
Dooley will recount stories from his past and answer questions about his life and work.
Dr. Patrick T. Conley, Historian Laureate of Rhode Island, explains the origins of the book, saying, “At age 90, Ken Dooley, [who is a] noted Rhode Island Heritage Hall of Fame playwright, author, publisher, political consultant, and raconteur decided — with a nudge from his admirers — to compose a series of brief essays recounting his varied life experiences.”
One of the stories in the book involves Old Lyme resident and well-known real estate agent Laurie Walker’s parents, the Lutenders.
Books will be available here for purchase at the event.
All are welcome to this free event. Registration is requested but walk-ins will still be welcome.
