BRUNSWICK

People Plus hosts Frank Connors as he speaks about his new book, a compilation of the first decade of his columns written for People Plus News.

The talk will take place at 2 p.m. Wednesday, Dec. 11, at 2 p.m. at People Plus, 35 Union St.

As editor of the People Plus News, a monthly newspaper, Connors has written more than 130 columns called “Speaking Frankly.”

More than 100 of these have been compiled into a book. Connors will present this collection, read excerpts from a few of his favorite columns and talk about the history of People Plus.

Artwork for the book was generously crafted and donated by Jack Gable. There are two new original acrylic paintings as well as several original black-andwhite pen-and-ink sketches scattered throughout the book. These images will be available for viewing and then later will be auctioned off as a fundraiser for the center.

A Maine native and a lifelong resident of the Bowdoinham and Brunswick, Connors likes to describe himself as a “pointman” for the baby-boomer generation.

A former newspaper reporter, photographer, town manager, home designer and truck driver, Connors still busies himself as a cemetery sexton, local historian, gardener and canoe paddler when he is not managing the membership registration and logistics at People Plus. He loves to talk and tell stories, and continues to work on his listening skills.
