Naperville train crash book talk and signing

Chuck Spinner today will give a presentation on his book about the 1946 Naperville Train Wreck.  On the sixty-eighth anniversary of the worst train wreck in Burlington Railroad history, author Chuck Spinner will give a talk and answer questions about his book, The Tragedy at the Loomis Street Crossing.  Spinner spent five years researching the life stories of the 45 people whose lives were lost in the crash.  He also interviewed the only two surviving eye witnesses to the event and talked with rescue workers and several of the injured passengers.  His book prompted the forming of a committee that worked with the Century Walk organization toward the creating of a sculpture by Paul Kuhn that will be dedicated at 1pm at the Naperville Railroad Station the day after Spinner's talk.  Dedication weekend will see a number of friends and family of crash victims come back into town for the dedication of this amazing memorial.  Autographed copies of Mr. Spinner's book will be available at the event.
