About this event
Patricia A. Whelan Performance Hall - Central Library. Join Eugene Stickland for a lighthearted reminiscence: Serendipity can be defined in a positive sense as the things we find when we are looking for something else. Happy accidents. Random events that change the course of lives. Hear how a series of unlikely events shaped his life, transforming him from an aspiring pianist to an acclaimed author.
