Michael J. Tougias is the author of 30 national best sellers, including Ten Hours Until Dawn: The True Story of Heroism and Tragedy Aboard the Can Do.  During the height of the Blizzard of 1978 the pilot boat Can Do, with five men onboard, set out from Gloucester to assist a lost Coast Guard boat and an oil tanker that was in a Mayday situation. Ten Hours Until Dawn tells the story of what happened on that awful night when the seas were producing monstrous waves of 40 feet and the wind was screaming at 100 miles per hour.

We will start at 1700 with a half hour to chat and have a drink (cash bar, the drinks are a bargain), then Michael's talk, then we will have pizza brought in from Oregano Pizzeria & Ristorante.  We hope you will stay for dinner, but if you are coming from a distance and want to leave right after the talk, that will be fine.
