Author Talk: Tedd Wallace - My Boogie Board Ride to Denmark

10/23/2016

 3:00 PM - 4:00 PM

Salem-South Lyon District Library

Meeting Room



Join us to hear the tragic but uplifting story about former South Lyon
Mayor, Tedd Wallace's "My Boogie Board Ride to Denmark" during the spring
of 2015.

*Hanging on to my boogie board the riptide swirled me around and
relentlessly smashed me against the rocks and sucked me below the surface.
I knew within minutes, I was going to die. Then came a god given moment of
elation, as I was snatched from the churning seas by a native of St. Croix
Virgin Island as he risked his life to reach down and pull me out....*
