Oct 29 - Peek into the past with author and longtime newspaper reporter George Hesselberg as he shares stories from his book, Dead Lines: Slices of Life from the Obit Beat, discussing the lives—and deaths—of many Wisconsin residents: the wealthy, the notorious, the curious, the unknown, and everything in between. Alternately amusing, sad, surprising, and profound, Hesselberg’s stories speak to both the profundity and mundanity of a shared human experience.
